Podcast: Volunteering?

I am doing my podcast, as I said, on volunteering for the special Olympics. I feel htat volunteering time and energy is an important ascpect to an individuals life. Not only is it a way to make a difference in your own life, but you can make an incredible difference in a total strangers. I am planning on informing poeple on how exactly they can become involved with volunteer work. Wheather its for only one day a year, or if they want to make this a year round hobby. Some people have more free time then others to help out, while some people have a large heart but dont have the time to volunteer. As I stated in my webtext, volunteers come from many different backgrounds and contribute in many different ways. People from the ages of five all the way to 95 can have an impact on an athletes life. I hope this podcast informs everyone how to get involved and how to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!! lemme know what you all think... what I need to focus on more, and what is already pretty well known!

Reflection

When I did my webtext on the Special Olympics it all came so easy to me. This is something I have been involved in for many years and I hold it dear to my heart. I chose this topic because I thought anyone and everyone that read it could benifit from it some how. Not only is it informative I tried to make it interesting as well. I know that a lot of people don't know much about the Special Olympics and I figured this would be an easy way to find out more. I picked the official colors of the Special Olympics as my background because they are vibrant and loud. The bright red should draw anyone's attention from the get go. As I said before, it was very easy for my to write on the topic which in turn I hope makes it easy to read as well. I hope everyone enjoys reading and learning about the topic as much as I enjoyed writing about it!

Webtext

I feel like my webtext is starting to shape up.. At first it was kinda out there and didnt really make a lot of sense, but the more I move things around and play with it, the more I can see where Im going with it. Still not really sure how the final project is going to look, but hard work always pays off!!!

Special Olympics

My webtext will be about the special olympics and how to get involved. Weather it be through volunteering, donations, or having family members that participate in the games. I have been involved with different aspects of the olympics for about 7 years. It is a great way to make a difference in someone's life and also make a difference in your own life. I would like to hear what anyone has to say or any questions out there that I could help to get answered!

First Thgouhts

From the article that I read in class I got a lot of ideas. I thought it made a great point that our generation is very "plugged-in", we are able to zip through a computer, cell phone, i-pod and many other things without a second thought most of the time. However, at the same time we are giving an insight to our personal lives to people we don't even know in the least bit. I think our generation is falling into the easy way of life, and not thinking about the consequences.

I would like to do my web-texts on the Special Olympics. I have been involved with different aspects of the Olympics for many years now and it is something that I find every inspiring and interesting!
