Blog Reflection #6 - Can you hear me now?

          The purpose of my podcast was to give interview tips for students who are preparing to enter the work force.  I have a background in Human Resource, a minor in Human Resources and am interested in helping prepare students for interviews.  To add a second voice to the podcast I had my husband, Ben Crites, ask me a series of interview questions that are commonly asked in an interview.  Click here , to listen to my podcast.

             I do see ways that podcasts can enhance learning both in the classroom and in life.  I love music and would also enjoy creating a podcast that teaches vocal training techniques.  Podcast research could be useful in the classroom in that it would enable a student to research a topic and get info not just from the teacher or peers and then report back to the classroom on the information that was learned.  Podcasts could also be used in elementary schools for teachers to make announcements to parents.

            The technology I used was screencast.com .  I found it to be fairly simple and very user friendly.  I used the recorder on my laptop, saved the file, uploaded the file to screencast.com and embedded it into this blog.    I definitely see using podcasts in the future, both in my personal and professional life.
