Hi FB. You are a high school teacher, right? so do you have a mac in the class, or is it windows? What a great reason to install bg right there. When I was teaching freshman speech at montana state, pc's were over 2grand, and you got a 40mb harddrive, could uprgrade to 1mb ram for another 200$, and the processor speed was 12mghz - that was the old epson equity 2+, my friend jim got one from his grandmother, with the 24pin color printer, was just under 2400$
needless to say, computer lab was the only place you could find one in a classroom!
do you have a list of speech topics that have been done so often, they do not get accepted anymore? we had a dozen topics that had circulated thru the greek houses and dorms so much, they were topica non grata when it came time to do it. do your students do an informative/demo, prob/solution, and expository formats? Or do you cover more the mechanics of speaking and the types of organizational format?
I miss teaching sometimes, but not enough to go back and get an m.a. for it!
