Podcast Blog

I wish that I could say that I found this interesting, but it was just words to me. Unfortunately, it did not hold my attention for very long. I'm not sure if it was because the topics didn't really interest me, or what. I do feel that if I were more computer savvy, it could have possibly held my attention for longer. Mainly because I would have more of an understanding about podcasting. I'm not saying that it's a useless tool, it's just now how I would prefer to get my information.

One of the podcast that I viewed the KidCast podcast, episode #59. Pretty much anything dealing with kids can hold my attention. Students were talking about incorporating iPods in the classroom. I really enjoyed and found interesting what they had to say. They talked about actively engaging students in the classroom while using technology. They pointed out how passive students are even when teachers bring new technology; new ideas into the classroom. I guess we are still coming up with ways/ideas to make learning interesting, and that kind of what I took away from this podcast.
