Podcast 10

1. Moving at the Speed of Creativity
Episode Title: Safe Classroom Blogging

Date: 12/26/06

Episode Number: 106
Reflection: I enjoyed how Fryer went over such a hot button topic. In my Social Studies methods class I did a blog and one of the questions the teacher asked was how safe it was. Honestly I did not have the answer. Fryer podcast stated how with the right restrictions only certain people could get into blogs. That would have been nice to have on the day I gave my presentations. I think this is a goog blog to squash teachers fear of technology.
2. Kidcast
Episode Title: Talking to administration about podcasting

Date:12/21/06

Episode Number: 36
Reflection: Dan Schmit talked to teachers about how to approach administrators about implementing podcast and technology into our curriculum. It is hard to talk about the cost of such things so a podcast about getting podcast is a great idea. It was helpful and as Schmit said most of it is just a start up cost. If we are smart and buy little bits each year we can have a classroom full of technology in no time.

3. Educational Podcast Network: Social Studies
Episode Title: Colonial Williamsburg : A conversation with Benedict Arnold

Date: 1/22/07

Episode Number:
Reflection: I decided to do a good search of educational podcast and stumble on the educational podcst network. All the podcast broke down into sections for easy access. I loved Williamsburg and decided to listen to this one. It had actors acting out as if they lived in that time period. It was an amazing podcast. I especially loved how well they stayed into character. This would be invaluable in a classroom for motivating a student to listen.
