Podcasts

I listened to two podcats previously done by students in Mr. Sullivan's EDM 310 class; Examining Dr.Strange's Thesis that Students Now are listener/watchers and not reader/writers. bw0610w, and Technology used in the classroom at the university of south alabama ss0216. It seems that everyone had their own version of how to do a podcast. One podcast I listened to had one person do most of the talking and asked the others in the group questions. This approach seemed to work but I think it would have been more effective if everyone would have contributed as much talking because everyone has their own point of view. In another podcast they introduced themselves and took turns talking. To me this seemed more effective because I was able to hear every ones opinion.

When my group does their podcasts we will alternate between talking and allow for everyone to have a chance at discussing the topic. Having one moderator seems to work pretty well. There will be one person to introduce what we will discuss and then we will introduce ourselves and begin the discussion. Listening to previous podcasts helps when it comes time to do your own because it gives you and idea of what makes a podcasts good.
