Hi everyone,
I've been busily visiting classes to let ALES students know about a new opportunity for you to take your learning into the world. There is a trip being planned for Mexico from May 1 - 9, 2012 and I'm looking for 10 students to participate. We will be focussing on learning about urban/rural poverty, ecology, and human rights through volunteer activities and workshops in a small community outside of Mexico City called Cuernevaca. This is a community service-learning project which means we'll be aiming to make connections between what we're learning in our classes and what is going on in the world.
The application deadline is next week...so if you're interested contact me at shannon.clarke@ales.ualberta.ca. Each student who participates will get $1000 to off-set the costs of their trip!!!
Check out the details here.

Lecture 10: Public Speaking Continued
After our last class I have seen an improvement in your tweets, comments and e-mails. Good work everyone - you're showing how you engage with class content (lectures and readings) and analyse your opinions.
Also, a few students have shared some interesting class-related pecha kucha's and speeches. I encourage you to let me know of any interesting conferences, talks, papers, presentations, books, etc... and I will post them here on the blog for all of us to read.
One example is from @AlanaSoderberg who tweeted about a speech on sustainability in the textile industry. Here is the Danish Minister of the Environment:
Also, Courtney Milford (@CourtMilford), [who you'll remember from Monday's class (she gave us a demo of her public speaking skills!) - arg! wrong! It was Chelsea Livingstone @raydeeoh_who gave us a great example of public speaking - apologies Chelsea and thanks again!] shared this link of a pecha kucha about the importance of signs. Something we'll be talking about in today's lecture (signposting in presentations):
