It was a most challenging task creating the podcast. After discussing what a podcast and an episode should be, I was most apprehensive of creating my own and put it off for a whole week. When I eventually tried to create it I could not follow the instructions. After sleeping on it I tried again and eventually got it right. I went a little bit beyond the scope of the assignment by creating a tip sheet on the subject which I will use with my students when I get them to create their own podcasts. http://www.compmat.wcape.school.za/PHS/odeo/podcasting.htm Feel free to use the tip sheet if it will be of assistance.
I learned that I am frightened and scared of technology but am willing to try and try. When I saw that Diane Fulkerson had done her podcast I took courage and struggled on. When I saw Sandra Doran’s podcast I was fired up to get it right!
Diane Fulkerson’s podcast impressed with her clear diction. Sandra Doran had a picture on her blog with the podcast link – I must investigate that. Sandra also, I think did not use Odeo but another program and I liked all the features it makes available for Getting new episodes, Exploring, etc.
Suggestions for improvement – in the course structure – no, by doing it together over this two week period we get support from others struggling although far away. Just seeing their work gave me inspiration – thanks Diane and Sandra.
Suggestions for improvement – for me – yes, add more files to podcasts and make use of it. It really is easy once you get over the initial hurdle. I know mine will not satisfy the criteria I so glibly gave about a good podcast but my students and I will add more episodes to the CAT Grade 11 class.
