I'm at information overload. I've spent the last 3 days at a CTAM conference. CTAM stands for Communication and Theatre Across Minnesota. Friday was over 13 hours of sessions! That's alot of information. I learned alot. I came home with a plethora of ideas. However, unlike most years, I might actually get a chance to explore some of these references a little more since I'm on sabbatical. So since I learned more than I'm able to document here, I'll have to just do a couple of highlights:
1) Definitely need to get the flip camera (the batttery recharges when you're plugging it in for downloading--other brands use disposable batteries too quickly)
2) Windows movie maker now has "narrator" function which makes it easier to give oral feedback to speeches that get turned in to digital videos.
3) "When the wind blows it blows for those that..." an icebreaker that get's people moving and learning about each other
4) Thesaraus.com polarizes terms in a manner ripe for discussion (masculine and feminine)
5) Lori Halvorson Wente has stored public speaking resources on her efolio site
6) Public speaking concept/theory video clips will be released on Minnesota Online repository sometime very soon
7) MnSCU global education conference is coming up in November and CLC needs to be there. Bring an administrator
8) postsecret.blogspot.com
9) interactive listening quiz wisc-online.com
10) notes saved as word document "CTAM Notes 08" on faculty 1's site
