If you have 5 minutes

An idea called Ignite, invented a couple of years ago for tech presentations, has produced dozens of quick looks at interesting new ideas. The setup is that a speaker has 20 slides that auto-forward every 15 seconds, with a total of 5 minutes to speak. Here’s an example about teaching children the skills to be inventors in their digital native world. The best examples are great ways for an audience to get the gist of something without being subjected to unnecessary detail or repetition. It forces discipline on the speaker both in creation of the slides and in the speech (something the business world desperately needs). Guess I better try this myself.
