April 24 Class

Congratulations to everyone who did their 10X10 Pechakucha on April 17! I thought they were very well done and the topics were quite interesting.

The following people will be presenting April 24;
복성윤
장성진
김기성
유석찬
박수용
유종훈

There were two people absent that day who may present as well;
김규훈 (only with a note for absence)
선정진 (only with a note for absence)

You will have a chance to discuss and self-assess your presentations, and take notes on what you could change to make your 20X20 Pechakucha (on May 15) a better presentation.

Here is a 20X20 Pechakucha on beards - it's a humorous presentation - the sound is bad, but it gives you an idea of what kinds of topics are possible.

Finally, we will be viewing a TED talk in class by Matt Cutts and discussing his challenge for us to make our lives more memorable, and to be more confident and adventurous people.

Cheers!
Greg
