Well, to say the least I have been frustrated int he creation of my first podcast. The problem was that I couldn't get my microphone to work on Podomatic. Then I found a way to record the podcast on my computer and save the file then uploaded it to podomatic. My frustration was just learning the steps. I am settling down now but my blood pressure was up while trying to do this earlier this evening.
With all that being said, I do think that podcasts can be and are important to education. This is a way to provide "snipets" of information to students about a topic of interest. As some of the videos posted for the class note, it is also a fun way for students to do assignments. I especially liked the example of the students in the history class acting like they were interviewing a historical figure and posting it as a podcast. When I get more used to doing this I could see mysself creating podcasts for topics at work and encouraging people to download the podcast for continued education. I am excited to be exposed to creating these and will continue to experiment with theses.
