2008 Convention Wrap Up

As the 2008 convention comes to a close, there are a couple of important final details.

Session Recorders: You can submit your recorder notes online. The process is simple and, generally, painless.
The link is here

Alternatively, you can attach a word or text file to an email. The address is webmaster@nscta.info.

Two rounds of applause for Liz Boyle and Cassie Sabatka. They both had submitted recorder notes within hours of the end of their sessions. To see their notes, and the notes of other sessions as they are submitted, click here.


What's in a District?
Posted by nscta_site_admin on Saturday, September 27 @ 21:27:24 EDT (3 reads)
NSCTA Info If you are unsure who your NSCTA representative is--or what district your school belongs to--we use the same geographical breakdown that the Nebraska School Activities Association uses.

The link with a list of schools organized by district is:
http://nsaahome.org/textfile/about/count.htm.


Once you've determined your district, click on the NSCTA Officers link on the left to find out who your district representative is. District representatives can help you out with just about any questions you may have regarding speech, theatre, debate or--if necessary--life in general.

Collaborative Intercultural Communication Project
Posted by nscta_site_admin on Thursday, June 05 @ 21:07:49 EDT (75 reads)
Classroom Strategies Anonymous writes "I'm looking to a 21st Century Learning Project Dealing With Intercultural Communication; however, I'm having difficulty trying to find a collaborative class(preferably international).

Here's a brief description:

Project Idea: You work at a public relations/communication consulting firm and have been hired by a company that is moving many of their offices over to a foreign country ; they want to acclamate their workers to functioning well in the new country. Demonstrate how to:

1. How to Make introductions
2. Work Etiquette Policies/Accept Criticisms
3. Giving Others Criticism
4. How to Give Presentations;
5. Eating at a Business Events;
6. Making Requests

Creating a iMovie, iWeb, or Podcast;

In turn, a firm from a foreign country will make an introductory video about American customs;
You will exchange your presentations to the other company for evaluation and feedback throughout the presentation. If you need feedback as the project goes, reference your peers in the other country, podcasts, and professional sites; Do not base your impressions on popular culture references.

If anyone has ideas for potential contacts or other modes of inquiry, I'd appreciate it; you can e-mail me at bmohr@esu8.org."

Question for Members
Posted by nscta_site_admin on Tuesday, April 22 @ 20:02:25 EDT (114 reads)
Classroom Strategies Dear NSCTA Members,

I need your help. We are surveying schools to find out what their policy is when a student is failing a class. For example, at Lakeview, if a student is failing a class, he/she has to report to "Friday time" where he/she is to study for 35 minutes and all the other students get out earlier. If the student is failing two classes, he/she is not allowed to compete in extra-curricular activites. Please let me know if you have any policies in place concerning this matter.

Thanks in advance,
Peg Slusarski
Lakeview High School
Columbus, NE
