Technology Talk: "Strange" Conversations With Future Teachers

Katheryn Bently, Kerrie Owens, and Hanna Nolan: Good job ladies! The subject matter was informative and interesting. A few suggetions though. Katheryn, your voice was monotone throughout the entire thing. Try to be a little more animated, especially when you are talking about something that is interesting or important to you, or when it is something that you are trying to interest other people in. Hanna, try not to use so many fillers. I know that this was an informal discussion, however, there were quite a few pauses where it seemed like you had just had a train wreck inside your head. Try to avoid things such as: ummm, uhhh, aannnddd...etc. Kerrie, slow down a little, think more carefully before you speak to avoid awkward stumbles and stutters.
Patricia Robbins, Megan St. Amant, and Courtney Morris: Well done ladies! But try not to end what you have to say with an indirect "what do you think?" Other than that, everyone had good examples for the subject. Patricia told us about a project that her son did, Courtney and Megan both talked about a fun game they played in school to help them remember things such as vocabulary words and how it motivated them to get together with the other students and study so that their team would win.
Lisa Burke, Many Sullivan, and myself: I think we did very well! When picking up or interupting one another, it got kind of confusing as to who was saying what. Mandy, have more confidence when you are speaking about yourself. Lisa, very informative and interesting. And as for myself, well...next time I'll try not to have bronchitis and cough into the microphone so much.
