New tribes new topics

We pushed Edistorm to the limit today. Thanks for enduring the chaos. Now we know that Edistorm works great for sharing ideas and getting feedback, but not so great for having 20-odd people categorize and find connections. Lesson learned.

Now that you are in new tribes and sitting around new tables, I hope you will work closely on research and sharing ideas for attending to the needs and interests of your audience. You will all face similar challenges, and one person's idea can inspire you to really have fun with this assignment.

For Tuesday's class, I'd like you to read Chapter 7 in your textbook. I think the entire chapter should be helpful for you as you begin thinking about this next, informative speech. I also want you to watch this video (see below)--which reminds me, to some extent, of our Edistorm session today. Consider how Candy organizes her speech.

Remember on Tuesday we will have librarian--my colleague at the Noel Studio Trenia--to help you find sources for this speech. We will meet in the classroom, talk with Trenia, then head over to the library to see the Noel Studio and visit the Library's archives.  



Have a great weekend!

  1. We'd love to hear more about your experience and perhaps give you ideas on how to use Edistorm to help you better organize your ideas.
