Since one of our topics this week was podcasting, I thought I would reflect on my podcast a little. First of all, I hate listening to my own voice. Plus, my allergies were going crazy so my voice was scratchy in some places and really high-pitched and nasally in other places. I liked the topic I chose, but I wish I wouldn't have scripted it so much. I tend to work best when I "fly by the seat of my pants". My podcast may have sounded more natural if I had done this. Oh well. Live and learn. Next time, I will most likely not feel as anxious because it won't be work that I am completing for a grade. I hope it goes better for my students. I would really like to get into some podcasts over children's stories next year. Also, I would like to do some oral presentations with my 4-6 writing classes, and I thought podcasts would be great for that!!
Instructional Website
I found that after my WebQuest, my Instructional Website was much easier to plan and do. I like the topic I chose, and I was glad to see that my design was approved by Dr. Ingram. I thought I really messed up the design part. I just don't really plan out projects like that. I guess every designer has their own process in life. I am finished with the content of my site. Now I need to polish it and make it flow!
Hi Megan,
ReplyDeleteHow were you thinking of using the podcasts over children's stories next year?
It sounds like you are making great progress on your website. I seem to have hit a brick wall with it.
I hope you are enjoying your vacation this week. Enjoy! :)
