Podcast Assignment

Go to http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2007/01/11/podcast110-simple-podcasting-on-a-global-scale/ Read what the page says this podcast is about. Scroll down and find the link labeled Podcast110: Simple Podcasting on a Global Scale [50:38m]: Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download (473) If you click on the icon for "Audio MP3" you can listen to this podcast on your computer. If you click on the icon for "itunes" it will open iTunes on your computer and take you to all of Wes Fryer's podcasts. Look for #110 and on the far right, click "get episode". It will now be on your iPod and you can listen to it on there.

Listen to the podcast. It lasts 50 minutes.

In your blog make a posting about this. First, define what a podcast is and compare/contrast it to one other technology (she compares it to several, so pick one). Second, tell three examples of usage in the classroom. Third, tell why a teacher would want to use podcasting in the classroom. Fourth, tell why a teacher would not want to use podcasting in the classroom. Lastly, tell what you really think about podcasting now that you know more about it.

If you have an iPod, go to the podcasting section of the iTunes store and look around. Find another one (not one of Wes Fryer's) that interests you and listen to at least 5 minutes of it. Blog about it. Make a separate blog from the one above.

If you don't have an iPod, do an Internet search for podcasting in the classroom and find a website that has interesting information about podcasting in the classroom (you choose what's interesting). Get content-specific if you can. Blog about your website. Include the URL in your posting. Make a separate blog from the one above.
