I went to http://www.iowaaeaonline.org/ and explored Learn360 and Soundzabound. I would recommend both of these resources for my competitive speech students. We compete in contests through the Iowa High School Speech Association (IHSSA). In large group competitions, the categories of TV News, Radio News, Short Film, and Choral Reading allow students to use images, music, video and/or audio clips to enhance their performances. In Individual Events, Expository Address and Reviewing allow them as well. It is often difficult to find video, sound effects and/or music that are appropriate and copyright free for students to use in their speech events. Both of these AEA resources have a lot to offer. For example: a TV or Radio News team could use one of the many news-themed music clips on Soundzabound for their theme music, http://www.soundzabound.com/audio/search/news , or a student doing an Expository Address about bullying could use one of the Film Clips for Character Education from Learn360, like “A Christmas Story: Standing Up to a Dare” http://www.learn360.com/ShowVideo.aspx?FromAdvancedSearch=true&lid=163210&Publisher=11462749&ID=366807 , to show the effects of giving in to peer pressure. There are many resources available for students to help augment their speech presentations.
