Week 4: Pod Casts

What?

• Today we learned how to create a Pod Cast using a Mac Computer.

So What?

• Getting the Pod Cast to attach to my Classroom Site page was confusing for me at first, but once I figured out how to link it properly to my site, I found the Pod Cast really interesting.  This is a good way for me to save information that is easier to learn through singing a song or a poem.  While studying for classes, I would sing a song with my study material into the Pod Cast, then play it back and sing along with it to better help me remember the information I am trying to learn.  Also, it is so good to learn these technology techniques to help me better understand what the internet and computers have available today.

Now What?

• Through learning how to make a Pod Cast, I am expanding my computer technology schema.  By doing this, I am also helping myself to be more accustomed to computers and what is available on them.  This will help in my future classroom because I can record information and play it for my students every day in class.  For instance, I can record a "Classroom Rules" song and play it in class.  Then myself and my classroom can sing along in class.  This would be a very fun and effective way for the class to memorize information.
