Podcast

I viewed various podcasts and I found them very interesting. I never really knew what they were about, partly because I was unsure of them. Since it was required, I had to "dive in", and I am glad I did. I went to the "Daily Boost" which was a motivational type podcast. They talked about "Remembering to Dream" and "Being who you are -not who you aren't". As a coach, I could see using podcasts as a means to motivate and mentally get athletes ready for a competition. I also viewed "How Stuff Works". This podcast was like a Bob and Tom talk show. I am not sure I liked or disliked it. The information they shared was informative, but the delivery may or may not keep kids focused. Clearly, podcasts could be used in the curriculum to gather or share information. I also liked the MIT on iTunes U. It is a great way to view things that our school district may not have. I can see using this to watch an experiment that we may not be able to do in the classroom.
