Podcasts

I have listened to parts of five different podcasts. I could not find ConnectLearning so I was not able to listen to what it was about or how it was done. Overall, it is really ineresting how the podcasts are done. There were different speakers but they could be in different locations. I also found out that there are podcasts for all listeners including kids that you can subscribe to for free.

I listened to SmartBoard Lessons 123: Notebook 10. Ben HAzzard and Joan Badger were the speakers and they were 2000 km away from each other. They introduced themselves and talked about the weather. These podcats are about using Smart Board. This particular podcast was not a lesson but was introducing the newest version of Smart Board. This podcast was about the features and classroom applications. They gave links such as Smart. In each podcast, they give downloadable lessons.

KidCast is self explanatory, theyare podcast for kids. I listened to episode one, I actually listened to all of it because it was really short. This particular podcast was a review by kids for kids on a movie. This would be a great tool for older elementary school students in exploring podcasts.

Ed Tech talk show number 26 took place on Feb. 8, 2009. This podcast as well as the others started out with music. Listeners can join in through chat rooms or through skype. This particular podcast is about constructive learning, "way to learn is by doing." When I heard that I thought about this class because we are definitely learning by doing, lol!

Mac Break Weekly is about Macintosh and "This week in Phontography" is about Photography. Everyone was introduced, they were all in different locations, southern CAlifornia, Seattle, Vancouver, New York City. I think it is really cool how a podcasts can go on with people in different areas of the U.S and probably even different countries. Teachnology has really came a long way. Technology is moving so fast that it is impossible to keep up with.
