What is Modified Pechal Kucha 10x10 versus Pecha Kucha 20x20?

Regular Pecha Kucha 20x20
Regular Pecha Kucha Style Presentation 20x20 is practiced by adults all the time. It is almost seven minutes of total speaking time, live, speaking in detail on a topic. This is a little bit much for most beginning elementary-age (8-10 year-old) students. Some students can work up to this length though. 

Modified Pecha Kucha 10 x 10​
Modified Pecha Kucha Style Presentations 10 x 10 is half the slides and half the time spoken per slide as regular Pecha Kucha 20 x 20. This time and number is more appropriate to begin at the elementary level at the modified length.  
  • The math works out so that 10 x 10 equals 100 seconds; divide by 60 seconds and get, 1 minute and 40 seconds of speaking for Modified Pecha Kucha Style Presentations 10 x 10. 
  • The math works out so that 20 x 20 equals 400 seconds; divide by 60 seconds and get, 6 minutes and 40 seconds of speaking for Pecha Kucha Style Presentations 20 x 20.

Modification #1: Shorten the number of slides and length of talking
​Modified Pecha Kucha is designed to teach elementary students how to build an image-based and voice-based presentation in a Pecha Kucha style appropriate to elementary age students.
 
Modification #2: Recording the speaking parts
The other main modification we make to the real-life actual Pecha Kucha style presentation is that we record our audio. We record presenters for several reasons. We use Flipgrid assignments with a two-minute recording window for the modified 10 x 10 presentations. This gives the students enough time to begin the slides, take a breath, and start talking.
 
Modification #3: Restrictions
For the first one or two attempts at Modified Pecha Kucha, as the teacher: 
  • I restrict the number of pictures per slide to a maximum of one. We actually use Google Slides and insert the background image from a Google Image Search.
  • I restrict the number of words on a slide is zero to ten, and I saw five or less. 
  • I restrict the typed words on the screen to proper nouns, names, places, dates, times, locations. Elementary students are tempted to write out everything they know, or copy and paste from an internet source. Then they are tempted to just read from their slide. That is definitely not within the purpose of the style. 
  • I restrict students to using Google Slides because there is a way to "publish tot he web" with a 10-second auto-timer. For those working to 20-seconds, I teach them to double each slide, so it will in effect transition every 10-seconds, but the student will only see a different slide every 20-seconds. My students have access to Microsoft PowerPoint Online, but that also lacks an auto-advance-timer. When we were in a computer lab, I did teach the kids to use the desktop version of Microsoft PowerPoint because it had the slide-advance at a specific time.
  • I restrict the students to record their audio using a Flipgrid assignment that I moderate. Flipgrid allows me to moderate the student submissions. I can move submissions to the correct grade level or assignment if the students submit it to the wrong place. I can set up classes, groups within classes, and differentiate assignments. I can give written feedback publicly or privately, and  record video feedback to each student. I can also download any video submissions to compile to a "best of" show, if I want to.  Flipgrid is the most robust, free, platform I have found that works in my school district issued Chromebooks.  We are elementary level lock down, so my students are blocked from many sites. I am sure there are other programs. The final reason I restrict the students to Flipgrid is equity. All my students have Chromebooks. Not all my students have parents with high-end video production equipment or iPhones. Flipgrid recordings make the assignments more equitable.
