I'm really intrigued with this idea of "phoning it in" and I'd like to play off the irony of that, at least in my own mind. I'm not sure students will understand the double meaning; I'll have to ask them. They are writing an analysis of a surveillance product where they are the watcher, hence this theme. I'll know in a day or two if they'll choose the audio option for publishing their introductions to this essay, or if they'll stay with text.

It's an image, some fine writing, a simple website, and Odeo. Students could do something like this very quickly. And what a great way to teach the relation of sound to writing (using the mind's ear), and of reflection to articulation. Well done, Karen!
