Public Speaking & Podcasts

Blogs and Podcasts have so many uses in the curriculum, ideas just keep popping up.

Here’s a technology idea to use with your Speech Classes:

Make use of blogs and podcasts for your students to upload their speeches for their classmates to listen to and make comments and suggestions to improve their public speaking techniques. Students are more willing to comment on their classmates’ speeches if it's not face-to-face.

This method of delivery allows everyone to listen, review and reflect over their classmates speeches post-class time. It also provides the opportunity for the speaker to hear themselves speak and to reflect over what they can do to improve.

Blogs and Podcasts are great reflective learning tools to use with your media savvy students. Remember students are much more tech savvy than we are; media is second nature to them.
