Podcasting Reflection

Link to contemporary issue:

Note: when you arrive at the website you will have to go to the search engine. At the search engine enter in the following title: Panel: Cell phones have much potential in classrooms.


Reflection:
I exerted a lot of effort in preparing for my podcast. I found a contemporary issue that related to technology and cell phone use within a middle school classroom. I read the article through and afterwards I began reflecting upon my own thoughts. After I processed through the article, I than began to write a full script of my podcast. I used garage band in order to produce a high quality podcast. I recorded my podcast multiple times before I could actually convert my podcast into a MP3 file. I made sure that I spoke professionally with few mistakes. As for the lead in and lead out music, I gathered those files off of iTunes, in which were already on my computer. I also used one sound effect that I arranged near the introduction of my podcast. I used the beginning of the song called Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlile in order to have student’s voices while I was saying “classrooms”. I exerted as much effort in producing my podcast.
            Creating a podcast allows me to explore other technology uses within my future classroom. At first I thought creating a podcast was going to be difficult, but it is something that I can promote my students to use as an assignment. Sharing my podcast with my peers allows me to know that I can seek for other’s input as a future input. In some cases, sharing your work allows you to become better and gain a different perspective. Creating and sharing a podcast impacts my future teaching because it allows me to seek input and improve in certain technology areas.
