    Catt, this was great! Your intro sounded so professional, your editing was great, you should consider making this a series! Working in pediatrics I was interested hearing about your guests line of work - especially with how they are converting the whole day live training to a half day virtual training. It definitely requires a lot more planning and adaptation! I liked her talk about the use of polls and the chat.

      Hi Paul,
      I enjoyed hearing about the live training as well, with effective planning and creativity I liked that Mrs. Hamlin showed it was possible to accomplish transitioning a live training into a half day training. I also thought it was interesting how she used podcast to promote and educate participants about the virtual training, I would have just thought to use a flyer.

    Hi Catt,
    I really enjoyed your podcast. I like how you incorporated the pictures so I could visualize who was speaking. I thought that Mrs.Hamlin made an excellent point on using polls to ensure engagement and verifying that people understood the training. I also liked her point on having evaluation before, during and after a program is delivered. I was wondering what platform you used to record the audio?

      Hi Aileen,
      Thank you for your comments, there are a few podcast I watch that put my images on the screen and their name helps if I want to do further research! Thank you for your comments. I actually recorded my podcast on the zoom platform and used adobe premiere to edit- I then separated the audio from the video and went from there. You also can record just the audio from the zoom platform as well.

      I hope this video helps explain the adobe process! :)

Podcasting Possibilities

  I started listening to podcasts to supplement the ongoing radio commercials on my daily commute to work; I readily tuned to a spiritual message, interview, or daily news. Using podcasts, I am engaged in the conversation topics and enjoy how easy it is to access information through live streaming to share, save, and transfer information to my portable device. Not only do I enjoy listening to podcasts in my downtime, but I surprisingly enjoyed creating my own podcast through the multimedia project assigned. I might be biased due to my communications degree, emphasizing electronic media but - I enjoy learning and teaching through technology.  Instructors have the power to connect content and creativity vibrantly; build assignments generate deeper research, analysis, and knowledge construction ( King & Cox, 2011). For some, podcasting might seem daunting if you use it as lecture webcasting, but podcasts can serve as a way to tap into different learning styles and modes for c...

Becoming Mindful with WIKI (8 Week Lesson Plan)

Image
  Becoming Mindful with Wiki      This assignment was my first time creating a lesson plan that was over two hours, and the challenge itself incorporated critical thinking skills beyond the task of integrating a wiki into the curriculum. The past three years include teaching a teen self-awareness session and utilizing technology but not using an online collaborative writing tool. Constructive theorists believe that learning is a social process and that learning occurs through interactions (King & Cox, 2011), and technology can enhance the learning experiences. Wikis allow students to problem solve and construct their knowledge, so I decided to use wiki, blogging, and google drive. I wanted to warm the students up with a blog then use google drive because of the page editor's similarities to migrate to wikis. Using a wiki as the main collaborative tool and space, my mission was to gain inciteful practice, upload and collaborate on assignments, and the overall self...
