Podcasts

This assignment has really opened up my eyes to what pod casting really is, its like a radio show.This will definitely help me with my podcast project,by knowing how it sounds and to remember to to speak clearly and loudly.

In the podcast titled "Connect Learning" they had people talking in the background, i found that to be distracting, it mad it hard to pay attention to the people who were actually giving the presentation. When you listen to other peoples podcast you really learn a lot,like what you like and don't like and how to really present yourself while on the air. You really need to be prepared and know what you are talking about, but at the same time you don't want to just read your notes, you need to be enthusiastic and grab the audiences attention.

Pod casting can be very beneficial in teaching, like "kidcast", where the school offers a week long camp for teachers to learn new ways of teaching. Pod casts can be used for online lectures, for elementary school kids who miss school or for their parents to listen too, or even for a college course. This is beneficial because you will be able to get a more well rounded education by getting actual notes instead of reading on your own, which everyone knows students don't.


So in conclusion by watching these pod casts before having to do our own was a great idea, you learn how it all works and it gets you thinking of how you want your podcast to sound.
