Podcasts

I listened to my podcast and three other podcasts. It was interesting to see how they all differ from each other and how different the organization was for each podcast. For ours, what I mainly have to say is that unfortunately we were not as prepared as possible because of some issues I had with traveling back from Arizona. Meghan and I had a hard time getting together to work on it and you could tell in the podcast. I loved Dr. Feldman, the teacher that we interviewed. He had a lot of insight as far as how much technology has advanced in the past twenty years and I know people will enjoy listening to that.

The first podcast I listened to besides Meghan's and mine was "Burp Back Education" by Lauren Roberts and Kimberly White. They had a lot of good conversation going on which helped to keep me interested. I like the questions that they asked Dr. Strange and how they described burp back education and gave ways to correct it. The only thing I would have to say about it was that it was just a little too long. I did lose interest after awhile because it went on for a longer time.

The next podcast I listened to was the discussion of Randy Pausch's Last Lecturei discussed by Sean Caballos, Chip Curtis and Heather Averette. The first thing I did happen to notice was the fact that there was a lot of background noise that had nothing to do with their discussion. Aside from that, I really enjoyed how they explained the lecture. They kept up a good conversation and you could tell that it was very well organized. They also did a very good job at using parts of his lecture and applying it to their lives to help people understand what he was talkin about in his lecture.

The last podcast I listened to was 3 Good Websites for Teaching Materials by Heather Klein, Kathleen Scrivner and Dominique Benward. Right at the beginning I thought that the nickname "DHK Today" that they came up with their podcast very creative and cute. They did a good job at finding websites that would be effective and not cost any money. The way they talked to each other kept you interested and they asked each other good questions so that listeners were sure to understand everything they were talking about.
