Podcast

The podcast is something new to me but they are OK. It explains to you how to do things or get a lesson taught. It also says the title at the beginning. It tells you who will be speaking to you. It gives references. The podcast tells the listener what the objective is and what they will be listening to. They ask questions. It should be at a pace where the listener can take notes.

I like that one of the podcast explained how podcasting works. It gives step after step how it works. If kids have a ipod then they can listen to the podcast on the ipod. They can pause and replay. Also if they need to go back and listen they can have that option also. Students could also comment on the podcast with a website that they get from the podcast.

The podcast also have music playing in the beginning and someone introducing. Podcast is more like a conversation with the people. You discuss the pros and cons of a topic. You can interview and cite sources in it. You get to use notes but it is suppose to be a natural conversation.

At the end of the podcast you have to wrap it up with an end conversation. You also talk about experiences with the subject. The only thing is you dont get hands on experience. You can discuss it with the person if they give you a website but not if it is something that needs to be demonstrated.
