My podcast

I made this podcast about the upcoming NBA playoffs. I used garage band. All you have to do is click record and be ready to speak. I also added a nice drumbeat to my podcast. I think podcasts could be used in the classroom as lectures so students can pause and rewind while listening. Also they're great to assign to students because it gives to show their creativeness without the anxiety of presenting in front of the class.

Class Presentations

I feel like overall my presentation went well. I think I could of rehearsed more of what I was going to say during my presentation. I left some stuff out of my presentation that I would of like to have been in there. I also feel like on slides 2 and 4 I had too many words. I think if I added an image or short video clip to either of those it would of been better. I didn't have a picture of Salman Khan on my presentation which would of been something I could of added.

I found the slide shows to be creative. There were lots of cool images that helped me understand their point and all of the presentations were easy too read I found the speaking part of the presentations to have room for improvement. People seemed shy and timid while presenting. We all seemed a little unrehearsed (which there can be too much rehearsal but a little is necessary). We all could of spoken with a lot more confidence as well. The presentation were interesting to me because I am passionate about teaching, so it was good for me to hear different points of view on education.

I happy we got to practice our presentation skill because it is a big part of teaching, and I hope we get another opportunity later on in the semester.
