I was totally oblivious to the world of podcasting prior to this class. I work one mile from my home, sleep on vacation drives to avoid carsickness, work out with friends who like to talk a lot, and each night spend my free time listening to my 6 year old read Scooby Doo Mysteries. As a result, I don't plan to download any podcasts for personal use any time soon.
Regardless, I was quite entertained by creating my own podcast during class - check it out on the sidebar! I really enjoy learning new ways to use technology, especially when they are so easy to implement. Because I work at a high school, a large percent of my students have cell phones which will make utilizing gCast, as we did in class, a relatively simple task. My plan is to try it out with my Basic Communications class this week and have them each read their favorite creation from our most recent unit on poetry. As typical with SLD students, my class has weak written communication skills and I am anticipating that they are going to enjoy making their work available to the world without having to write it again!
