Podcast & Vodcast's
Today in class I leaned about Podcasts. Our Facilitators were a good group. I have never used or created a Podcast. My classroom experiences are getting quite comical. He I figured I was really good with technology and lately whatever can go wrong is. I don't mind though it just makes me realize what my students go through when the technology fails to cooperate. I survived and with the help of my fellow students we created and conquered and now I am all excited to utilize Podcast's. Sheng-Lu really helped me understand that I will have to find a audio program that will work when using Podcast. It is a fun chaotic but not so chaotic class. Pauline
My paper about Blogs
Blogging for Beginners
I am having a hard time trying to navigate through the world of Blogging but I am curious and soon I will be blogging important information soon enough. I had some help during class and while everyone completed the task I seemed to have ran into one road block after another. So I am going to give you an insight of what some of your students may go through when trying to learn to blog.
First off the computer would not allow me on because I had to change my internet connection on my lap top. So I tried the computer lab computers and geeezo peezo they took for ever to warm up. So, I change my internet setting on my lap top and for some this is easy but for me it is a trying task because I have a new lap top and I have Window's 8. Need I say more.
So, I am finally logged on and I am creating my blog set up and it is in another site. It allowed me to set up a homepage and did nothing more. I mean on the up side my home page looked pretty suave. So, here everyone is moving right along in class and I am having to start over and it seemed everyone else was completing the simple blogging assignment.
However, I am a survivor and I kept on plugging away so I get help after class by the Professor. I welcome the help for sure. I was excited I had one and could easily post for my professor, but nope not so easy.
My instructor was working with another student and I was having the same difficulty as them I could not open the google doc to put my blog url....being the inventive student I am I submitted it under my assignment for blogs. Not the right place but in order for me to feel like I completed the task I had to get it to the instructor some way some how.
So I will end this with I was patient with myself and I didn't blow a gasket or feel like I need "Blogging for Dummies Book" I just decided that I would be a determined student and find a way to get the job done.

Blogging
Tonight in class I struggled with Blogging only because I used a website to create my blog. It was not a very user friendly site so I went with Blogging.com and so far successful. I liked the learning that took place today in class. I liked that the class seems very inviting and I like many of my classmates I have met. I enjoy the brainstorming after the lessons. Good Class!
