Blog Assignment 5

Eagles' Nest Radio and Class Blog

Roman Dressed Students
The Eagles' Nest Radio and Class Blog was very cute!  I listened to the one about ancient Rome.  I liked the picture that went along with the podcast.  Apparently the teacher let the kids dress up Roman style.  It looks like it was a lot of fun.  Watching this showed me how I can incorporate music into my podcast and possibly have a "host" who invites everyone to to talk and not just have "interviewees."





Langwitches by Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano

Silvia Tolisano was a former World Language teacher and in one of her posts she describes how important it is to speak clearly and correctly.  This is especially true through an audio podcast where the listener is focusing on every word the speaker says.

The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom by Joe Dale

Joe Dale linked a video to his blog about the benefits of podcasting in the classroom.  This video featured Doug Saunders who appeared to be very knowledgeable on the subject.  He describes the benefits of podcasting from promoting creativity and innovation to an effective way to communicate with classmates outside the classroom (especially true for EDM 310).

  1. Eagle's Nest Radio; I am glad that you picked up on the technical aspect of the podcast and translated it into your own potential usage.

    Langwitches; It is important to speak clearly and correctly. You should also be aware that if you don't break up your cadence, you may put your readers to sleep. All kinds of good stuff to think about when you are making a podcast :-) I am sure you will do well!

    You made it clear that you read/ listened to/ watched all of the assignments, but be careful your your brevity-- it worked this time, but I don't want you to limit yourself to skimming the surface of your thoughts-- most of the time, the quality stuff comes about when you dig a little deeper in your own reactions.

  2. I agree with Anthony but my guess you didn't want to take your "I'll do it my way, thank you" stance and start even more debates. That's OK. But don't resort to just skimming through.

    Well written.

  3. I compleatley agree with the Langwithes part of the post. When doing a podcast often people will picture what you look like based on your voice alone. So this brings the question of what do you want people to picture you as when you are speaking? Do you want them to picture you as someone intelligent or someone that is ignorent and not well spoken. A good example is just listening to the radio. A large amount of times the voice you hear on the radio in no way describes the way the person looks. So speak clearly and give listeners a good image to picture. Great post.
