Thing #21 (Week 9) Pod Casting


The place to start examining podcasts is at Podcast Alley.  I noodled around, looking at subjects that interest me:  yoga, tv shows (Gilmore Girls, Deadwood), gardening.  You have to sample a lot to find something that fits your need.  I wish there were visuals, to help in the selection process.

Two I would return to:

ShakesPODosphere:  A podcast on Othello, with insightful explanation.

YogaDownload.com - 20 minute yoga sessions

The Educational Podcast Directory mostly lists by the creators' names and title of program. Unfortunately, they don't say what their podcast is about.  

To install the RSS feed, I googled "how to install RSS feed in Blogger" and got step-by-step instructions.  A lot of the podcasts in the Educational Podcast Directory would not link via their RSS feed.  But, I managed to link to one, and I see it above this post !??

This podcasting sort of reminds me of putting together a radio show and making it available.   It could lend itself to student activity, given the students had the proper equipment.  The notion of me listening to 90 podcasts (or some lesser number representing group work) is daunting.  

No comments:

Thing #1 and Thing #2 and . . .

These are my reflections for an on-line "class" I'm taking in web 2.0.  The titles refer to assignments.
