Reverse Ignite

December 14th, 2009

At the last couple Ignites here in New Mexico we have tried something new, and have gotten a great response.  Reverse Ignite takes slides from other Ignites around the world and gets a volunteer from the audience to improvise the topic without seeing the slides ahead of time.  At Ignite NM 4 we did 3 Reverse Ignites, Here are the first 2. Enjoy, I know we did (Thanks to @carolinecblaker and @signalnine)

Note: Do you have video from Ignite NM 4?  Please share it with us.  Due to some technical difficulties we are missing some footage.  contact mick@davidmichaelthompson.com

Thanks to those that Created the Originals! Here are the links:
