    A quick guide to help teachers get started with Web 2.0. Stick figures included! I love the focus on moving beyond the 'Yeah buts'. Great design as well.

  • To me it really brought home how artificial speeches about canned subjects in front of a class are little to no preparation about talking to people naturally in a real-world setting. It’s like the students are only good at “pretend speaking”
  • (These types of schooly speeches also unconsciously perpetuate the teacher-centered model of 20th century classrooms, with students being trained to carry that largely stultifying ritual into the future.) 
  • Ours is a century of sharing ideas, and sharing the stage, with the audience. (I’ll resist the Speech 2.0 label.)
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Are there any alternative school competitions that reward not “competitive speechifying” a la Speech and Debate, but instead cooperative negotiation and conflict resolution - both sides being rewarded for listening, conceding points, offering compromises? Both teams winning, else no winner at all?
  • But here’s the thing
  • Speech is a competitive tool that has nothing to do with listening. Rhetoric is more important than invention. It’s not okay to just talk to us about what moves you.
