Podcasts
I just loaded three educational podcasts onto my ipod (actually my daughters hand-me-down ipod shuffle (the ten year old has the upgrade!)). My plan is to listen to these as I travel out to Colorado for some curriculum work with BSCS. Having podcasts on my ipod is not a new thing, I am embarrassed to admit that I have been known to listen to science stories as I ski. The new thing for me today was finding the podcasts on the web and then subscribing to itunes through the site, in the past I simply found what itunes offered me. So I guess the growth for today is the linking to itunes. The bigger step will be getting myself to the point where I feel comfortable creating my own podcast. But I'll do it because I know that if I expect my students to learn by doing I best be willing to do the same.

Hi Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to start my podcast too ... I can't decide if I will do it in Garage Band or in Audacity ... I am very excited about learning this skill so that I can share it with faculty and students and expand our learnign network and its accessibility. I wonder if podcasting can bring value of contribute to the work of your advisory board? It sounds fascinating! Good luck!
