podcast due 2/28

For my 2 podcasts I am still in the process of deciding what i would like to do.

I think F
or my video Podcast I think i would like to talk about deaf people functioning regular society. As an example of this I would like to show clips of Marlee Matlin. She is a deaf actress, has won an Oscar and made an appearance on the T.V. show "Dancings With the Stars",
here is a small clip of Marlee form Dancing with the Stars.
But i would like to show a very short clip of a hearing couple dancing and then show Marlee dancing and ask if my audience if they thought one of the couples was deaf.

For my first podcast that is just my voice I would like to talk
I think i either want to talking about personal stories more or expand on a topic that doesn't fit in my web text. One of those topics could be: mainstreaming a deaf child into a hearing school or putting a child into a deaf school against their wishes.
But
In discussion with Shakira, i decided i would love to talk about devices that allow the deaf to hear, such as a hearing aid or the cochlear. I would probably want to focus on the cochlear. Which is a device named after the cochlea.

A cochlear is a device that actually gets implanted into someones head, and it allows the user to have a chance at hearing. Not all operations resault in successful hearing.

What is something you still don't understand as my reader, maybe a podcast could clear up any confusion about?

Here is the most recent version of my draft.

  3. How do you plan on getting information on putting a deaf kid against their wishes or streamlining them into a hearing school?

    I think it could be done well.

  5. i like the personal stories idea, talking about these will probably interest your audience a lot more.

  6. I think that the idea about discussing the hearing devices is an interesting one. I mean, I know I don't know much about them at all and I'm sure that there are many others in the dark, as well. Additionally, mention how much they cost, if they're problematic, who they're for, etc... that is, if you choose that idea.
