Dan Schmit-Podcasting

Articulation, Participation and Citizenship-Podcasting as a Scaffold for Significance
Dan reinforced the idea that technology is secondary and the rich experiences are the things that are important. Teacher podcasts are nice, but there is great potential for students.
The best thing about podcasting and new technologies is that we have many audiences.
Academic Expression is vital and we need to look at problems differently and reach for significance. Students need to be aware of their audience, professional sound, roots in what we are studying, great podcasts aren't about us, planning--80% developing content, 20% Production. Podcast need to have interesting questions, explore unique angles and perspectives, weave a compelling story, show literacy, logically reason, writing and oral communication.


Charlene & Kevin--Empathy Sense
Your examples were great. The examples made me feel something and I was instantly connected. Empathy was one of the biggest discussions one weekend in my Master's class a couple of years ago.

Dianne and Molly -- Laughter Sense
In the conceptual age work and play are more acceptable. Games are bigger than the motion picture industry. Humor is very important and is an asset to a company. We need to have joy. I need to work on this area and laugh more often at school.
