"Burp Back Education"
I thought this podcast was very good, it gave loads of information and tips for a teacher to use when expecting students to retain information for long periods of time and not just for a test. I thought this podcast was more like a conversation then, the other one I listened too! The speakers had knowledge of classroom experience and teaching skills. There were a few distractions that were a nuisance, for instance you could hear clapping in the background and laughing. I also thought that each speaker talked on a different level and it made it hard to hear them. I found myself continuously adjusting the volume for the three of them. Other then those few things the overall podcast was good, they gave a more conversational feeling then a lecture.Monday November 24,2008
"What I Learned from Randy Pausch's Last Lecture"
This podcast the students introduced themselves before they gave the talk about Mr. Pausch's Last Lecture. I didn't like the fact that they said um and like a few too many times, and their pronunciation was off. The first speaker Brandy Wimberly babbled a bit about her thoughts and then let it open for the other two students to put in their thoughts. At first this one sounded more rehearsed and not conversation like. I didn't like that all of the students knew what they were talking about, it sounded like one did more research and looking in to find out facts and the other two just watched the video. I did like the that they gave quotes that had an impact on them.Of these two podcasts I now have a better idea of what to do and what not to do! I know how important it is for the groups to all be the same distance from the microphone so that the listener will be able to hear all on the same volume level. I like the idea of podcasting and think that it would be a great way for a class to learn from because it is something that would make a child remember the lesson and not just regurgitate back for a test.
