Daf: Hi Aiden, I was just checking your podomatic blog, and it really rocks. Congratulations to you and your students
aiden yeh: thanks
aiden yeh: i'll pass on your message to them
aiden yeh: i'm sure they'd be delighted
Daf: yes, please do
--------------------------------------------------------
This site was primarily created for my students. I see that there's a lot of potentials in using this tool specially in enhancing their oral speeches. We had some challenges here and there but so far I think we're getting there. Way to go guys and keep up the good work.

Oliver's poetry reading
12/24/2005 12:56 AM
|
Oliver has done it again! She could easily express her emotions by varying her delivery of words. You will see in the video how she made use of storytelling approach, narrating a conversation between the 2 characters in the poem. The exhange of responses between these 2 characters, and knowing who's asking the question and who's character is demanding for something (a poem) can easily be discerned. We can also see that Oliver is comfortable and relaxed when giving oral presentations. However, there were some words and phrases that did not come out clearly. I am not sure whether it was from the recording or a result of lowering down or softening of voice. The sudden bursts of words gives emotional impact but the immediate softening of voice made it a bit difficult to understand what was said.
great job, oliver.

Karen Hung delivers 'Open your Eyes'
12/24/2005 12:22 AM
|
Listen and watch Karen Hung read 'Open your eyes'. She began reading without rushing, taking her time, emphasizing the phrase 'open your eyes', hoping that we would do as she suggests, so that we may be able to see what the writer saw- scenes of chaos and uncertainty. I
t's a good piece for understanding culture through poetry :-)

Karen Yeh reading 10 things I hate about you
12/24/2005 12:07 AM

Thank you Karen for sharing this poem. You read it well but maybe perhaps in the future you could read it slower and try to show a bit of emotion in your voice.
way to go, karen!

10 things I hate about you
12/23/2005 11:59 PM
|
I enjoyed the poem that Karen Yeh read in class, 10 things I hate about you. I guess, I'm a hopelessly romantic person, and I think I'm still trying to hold on to the years when there was so much passion and the feelings of love and hate were so overhwelming. There's still passion in my life but the security of marriage somehow strips some of the excitement away. I think many of you who are in love may feel the same way, too. Do you?

Caroline's Poetry reading
12/23/2005 11:05 PM

Listen and watch Caroline deliver her poetry reading. Take note of how she made use of her voice (pitch, intonation) to emphasize the meaning of the text and to put emotions to the words she's reading.

suicide impromptu speech
12/17/2005 05:51 AM
|
From Taipei Times:
Civic groups attending a forum for depression and suicide prevention warned yesterday that the nation's suicide rate has risen dramatically over the past decade, and that it is often closely linked to depression. They also noted that suicide was ranked ninth in the nation's top 10 causes of death last year.
Click here to read the full version. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2005/12/12/2003284057
Think of the following questions:
1. What can the government do about this problem?
2. What is your opinion about the use of the Internet as a probable cause of Taiwanese youths' depression and suicide?

Speech Class: Important Announcement
12/11/2005 06:32 AM
|
1. Impromptu Speech Videos
For those who have done their impromptu speeches in class last Thursday, 12-8-2005, you are required to do a self-evaluation based on how you have performed. You need to watch your own impromptu speech video and post an audio comment on our Speech class podcast at http://aidenyeh.podomatic.com/ Your self-evals will be sent to my podcast email address at aidenyeh@podomatic.com You could record your self-_eval using other mp3 audio recorders and send the file to the podomatic email address.
Let me know if you have already downloaded your videos from Grouper. You NEED to join this group to make the sharing of videos faster and more efficiently. To join Grouper, click this invitation link
http://grouper.com/GroupProfiles/Request_Invite/?id=186109
Our Grouper's Mainpage is available at
http://grouper.com//GroupProfiles/?id=186109 (Only 7 have joined, where are the rest?)
Your self-evaluation is a required task. There are no right or wrong answers on your evals; what is being graded here is your effort to critically reflect on your presentation (both orally and quality of content).
2. Those who still have not done any impromptu speeches, you don't have a single grade yet on my grading sheet. To make up for this, post your impromptu speeches on either Credit card or Fish issues to our podomatic page at http://aidenyeh.podomatic.com/ Your work and effort will be graded.
You need to show me that you deserve the grade by participating in class activities (in-class or online). The online activities will make up for your class participation- which unfortunately, many of you are not doing so well.
I hope that I have made myself clear. Please consider this as a special message to remind you that you are responsible for your grade. How you perform in this class is measured by what you have done in this class.
Send me an email if you have any questions.

Elizabeth Hanson-smith's post on our podcast
12/10/2005 11:37 AM

To students in my Speech class,
As some of you may have already seen, there are a few exchanges of audio comments made on our speech class podcast at http://aidenyeh.podomatic.com/entry/2005-12-09T19_15_58-08_00
The two people who have made their audio comments are Prof. Dafne Gonzales from Caracas, Venezuela and the other is Prof. Emeritus of California State University in Sacramento. Dafne and Elizabeth are good friends of mine and they have agreed to join our podcast. They will reply to your audio comments. In other words, there will be an authentic exchange of messages. You have your real audiences now. So, it is not simply 'US' but it is about getting your messages and opinions across continents. I'm inviting you to take this opportunity to expand your learning experiences.
I hope that you will give it (posting your audio comments/extemporaneous speeeches online).
To leave an audio comment, on the right column, click on "leave comments online" link. A new page will appear. Click on 'record' and click 'send' once you're done. All you need is a microphone.
There's a new message from Elizabeth coming in as I type this message.
I'll forward her message to our podcast so you could listen to it, too. Send her a message if you wish!
Cheers,
Aiden Yeh

Dafne's blog

dearest dafne,
many thanks for your email and thank you for sharing your students' experiences on using blogs and audacity. I agree- converting audio files and uploading them on a server is quite overwheliming specially to those who are not really computer savvy. Podomatic is surely better and I hope that must students will start using it.
I am posting your audio comment to my podomatic so my students could listen to it too. This way, they will feel that there's a purpose to sending audio comments.
Hugs,
aiden

Hi Elizabeth,
Your audio file (comment) was sent to my podcast email address. I'm forwarding it to my class's podcast site so my students could listen to it, too. The recording was truncated (both in the beginning and end). You were saying something about using
ATM and managing money.
Thanks anyway. I hope that you could drop by our site often. I'm sure my students would love to listen to what you have to say ;-)

To ditch or not to ditch credit cards

Go to CBS News link, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/02/eveningnews/main1094955.shtml, 'Digging out of Debt'. Watch the news (or read the transcript). This should help you in deciding on your argument, To ditch or not to ditch credit cards. Listen to my podcast to know more.
To post your short speech online, click on 'Click here to record comments online'. Your speeches will be uploaded right away.
I hope that those students who were not able to do their impromptu speeches in class will take this opportunity to share with us your opinion on this topic. Those who already did speeches in class, you are more than welcome to do it again online :-)
I look forward to listening to your speeches!
Aiden Yeh
