Podcasts from EDM3102008

I listened to two podcasts: "Possibilities for Using Facebook in an Educational Setting" given by Allison Midgette and Shaundretta Bethel and "Reflections on The Last Lecture of Randy Pausch" by Brett Kittrell, Jenny Mosley, Taylor Irvin and Bree Smith.

You could tell they were reading from a script. You could hear the pages rustling and they were very 'sing-song'. You could also tell they were nervous, which is understandable since these were their first podcasts. They didn't flow as well as they could have. Perhaps with a little more practice, these things could have been elimated.

I can't be too critical. When Lynda and I did our podcast, it was our first as well. I wish we could have got together and rehearsed our podcast before we actually recorded it, but we did not get that opportunity. Maybe next time, we can.
