Digital Voices

 On Friday, February 22, students were asked to review definitions of podcasting and listen to National Public Radio’s “This I Believe” podcasts.  They responded to the following questions and posted their responses on this blog to begin a conversation about podcasting and “This I Believe” essays.

a.       What do you understand about podcasting ?  What did you notice about the technology?  The sounds?

b.      Which “This I Believe” essays did you listen to?  Why did you select those pieces?  What stood out to you about the essay?  What aspects were memorable?  What was effective about the piece?

c.       What did you notice about the introduction the speech?  What was interesting about the introduction?

Welcome to our Charlotte High School Speech Blog!  In mid-January our class began and we’ve been working on analyzing speeches, speaking techniques, responding to peers as well as giving a speech of introduction and demonstration speech.  Recently we started talking about the role of technology related to communication.  We’ll start posting to this blog on February 25 and we hope that you engage in our conversation with us by providing comments to student ideas and then later our speeches.  We’re excited to share our voices with others as we blog in podcast this year.  Thanks for joining our conversation.
