Assignment for 10/8

Today, will be an independent research day on Podcasting. I will be in and out of the building today so if you need me please email me or drop by the office.

You will begin learning about podcasting by researching it using the internet. I have put a link on the right side of our class blog with a very informative article about podcasting. After, you read it answer the following questions:

1. What is a podcast?
2. How does podcasting work?
3. How can teachers use podcasting?
4. Examples of how podcasting is being used?
5. What are your thoughts on podcasting and its benefit for teachers and students?

Finally, go on the web and look at a podcast that might interest you and let us know

1. the URL
2. Why you chose that particular podcast
3. What you thought about it in general.

We will discuss podcasts and your posts on Monday 10/13 and we will have a guest speaker come in and talk about how to make a podcast later in the semester. We are going to try and have everyone make their own podcast by the end of the semester.

Thanks,
Mr. Tashbin
