Weekend 3, Day 1

Today I discovered that I absolutely detest the sound of my own voice on recordings.... Jamie, on the other hand, could have a possible future in marketing!

Creating the podcast was an experience that I won't soon forget. It was completely trial-and-error as Jamie and I recorded using software we were both unfamiliar with. We got through it, though, and it was a reminder of the way our students struggle with things we ask them to do for the first time. Certainly it was not a "polished" product... If we had had more time, I'd want to change some things. Definitely a useful tool, however. I could see using this tool in my classes, assigning a podcast to my students in conjunction with their research projects. As an administrator, you might even use this with staff cohorts as they work in Professional Learning teams. It was fun to watch everyone go through the process, and I think we learned from each other as we shared our joys and frustrations!
