Podcasting Troubles

Ugh! Of course gabcast is blocked by the school network. My tech admin said that it was due to advertisements. So my students were unable to comment on the podcasts I made last night. However, a fellow teacher listened to them and liked them! Cool!

Hopefully the school system will unblock it, so my students can use it on my blog.

Podcasts-Reflection

Creating podcasts on gabcast was quite easy. It took me less than half an hour. I decided to use information on states of matter, because my students are currently learning about that in science. Because my skill block with the school system is to incorporate technology into writing, I added it to my classroom blog. I will then have students leave comments explaining what they have learned from listening to the podcast. I think it is a great way to expose students to a different way of receiving information.

I am thinking about setting up a personal channel, for just my friends to listen to. I think they would get a kick out of it. (I am such a dork!)
