Podcasting has been an area that I have been eagerly awaiting to add to my skill set. I am not sure why it has taken this class to get me to learn and enter the world of Podcasts, but it has. I am excited about the posibilities of making use of Podcasts to assist with my professional development and personal enrichment.
I enjoyed both the Uncle Seth and Ask a Ninja videos and there creativity (especially the regular feeding of apple pies to whales). I can't ignore all the Commoncraft videos that have been very instructional and enlightening in the clear presentation of new concepts for my learning over the course of this class.
I had some difficulty downloading and utilizing Quick Time and Adobe Flash Player. I was ultimately able to listen to both RESA Great Educational Podcasts but not able to view. One of the interesting interesting sites I browsed through was at Lower Merion School district (www.lmds.org/staff/techmentor/podcast). I found an interesting podcast on Three Suggestions for use of technology in the classroom. It explained how to access/evaluate how to better integrate technology into the your teaching, the curriculum and classroom.
The second podcast that was interesting was a discussion regarding the new administrations Race to the Top initiative. I found it at the Learning Matters Web site (learningmattters.tv/blog/podcasts/race-to-the-top). There always seems to be an interesting dynamic between politicians and education and the resulting programs that are devised to enhance and improve education.
I look forward to the next "Thing" and more podcasting. Gregory Jacoby
