Thing 22

Today I discovered the podcast world. I had heard about podcast before, but I never had used them. I never understood how podcast worked. All users need is the internet and a computer. The audio or video is delivered through the internet. Users could listen to them whenever they wanted to.

In my case its in my google reader. You do not need to only use itunes. There are different directories that can be used. I searched through education directory, and learn out loud. Both are easy to utilize, and I recommend both. I found history podcast. This podcast is devoted to history everything and anything. The segments range from Henry VIII to Pocahontas. I already began to listen to the segment about Pocahontas. I made my husband listen to it. He does not believe me that the Disney portrayal of Pocahontas is totally wrong. After he heard it, he was still in denial.

My husband encouraged me to begin a podcast, but i think I would rather create podcast only for my future class. I think I could incorporate it to my lesson and utilize it for those students that are absent.
