I enjoyed making my first podcast. Listen to it!
It took me a little longer than it should have since I did not know that there was on and off switch for the microphone until David Widener had to come to my room to show me. Lesson 1: Turn on equipment. Oh well. In my podcast I discuss ways I could use podcasts in my classroom. Most of them are common sense uses but it did get me thinking. I also became very aware of some bad habits I have when I talk. I make a clicking sound and I sniff a lot. Not to mention that I sound like a man. So I think if I were going to have podcasts of my lectures available for my students that I would have to work on those annoying habits. I don’t think there is much I can do about sounding like a man.
Also it is very hard to find a time that it is quiet enough to record a podcast. For example in my podcast you can hear the bell ring. The one thing that I did not like about Evoca is I could not figure out a way to edit my recording. I liked everything but the end and could not figure out a way to go back and add an ending without re-doing the whole podcast. So I have a podcast with no closure.
