Podcasting - wow!

Below is the link to my very first podcast. I found this to be a time consuming assignment, but really engaging and fun. The content of the podcast is academic and follows the assignment requirements for my master's class, but the process is one that I think students would enjoy. I am considering making podcasting an assignment for my communication arts class as it would be a great project to do while teaching the lesson on interview skills. With a podcast, the emphasis is on audio, so the students would not get bogged down with setting up shots and editing the video; they could focus completely on asking creative, open-ended questions and learn how to edit audio only using Audacity.

Click on this link to go to my podcast:
Those of you who are not in my master's class may not understand the vocabulary used ("digital natives" - kids who are born into the world of technology and do not know a time when computers and all of the tech tools did not exist - - - "digital immigrant"-adults and those of us who have had to learn technology as it came out - those who learned to type on typewriters, like me!!)

    Mom,

    I enjoyed your podcast, and as a "digital native" myself I agree with many of your students comments. I feel as if it is definitely an advantage especially in the workplace, as our world is heavily dependent on technology. Great job as usual.
