4. Different Voices, Different Spaces (DVDS): Martin Luther King Jr
I have a dream today…
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New
Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of
Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of
Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of
Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
5. Different Voices, Different Spaces (DVDS): Martin Luther King Jr
And when this happens, when we allow freedom
ring –
when we let it ring from every village and every
hamlet,
from every state and every city,
we will be able to speed up that day when all of
God's children
- black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics –
will be able to join hands and sing in the words of
the old Negro spiritual:
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we
are free at last!"

20. DVDS: Teacher’s comments (Personalised learning)
Audioblogs can be personalised – they can
function as a simple means of creating
personal or interactive webpages, and they
remain active after a course is finished. They
can function as a type of e-portfolio for
students indefinitely.
(Beyond Text Audioblogs, Why use audioblogging?)
21. DVDS: Teacher’s comments (Reflectiveness)
You can use voice boards for reflection and
journaling activities. This is a great way for
learners to be able to record their learning
and experiences of the learning process.
