Podcast Favorites

I thought that listening to the podcasts was really helpful and it aided in my ability to make connections in and outside of class. My very favorite podcast was the Tech Chick Tips. I liked this because I felt that I could relate to the Tech Chicks and I liked the way that they presented the information. The episodes were always very straightforward, in language that I could understand, and humor was often interjected. I also felt like the Tech Chicks gave sound advice and had really researched the resources that they spoke of.

The other podcast that I really enjoyed was the K12 Online Conference, specifically the programs entitled “Fireside Chats.” I really liked how they did a spotlight on a teacher who is using 21st Century Learning in his or her classroom, and offered examples of different activities that can be used with students. I always like features of different people – whether it is news, magazines, etc. – so receiving this same type piece in the format of a podcast really interested me. I hope to use some of the ideas that were mentioned…they were very good!
