Podcasts

I had no idea what a podcast was until last week.  Again, I was unsure about how difficult it would be to use and could I ,do it?  Well believe it or not, it was not as scary as I had initially imagined and was able to work with the program.  However, I still need to spend more time playing with Audacity to get a little better with its use; it can be done. Now that I am familiar with them I hear a part of a podcast on the radio.  It was done by university students in the form of a Bible story.  As we prepare to study the planets, the students could write a short story or do an interview of an astronaut who has visited the planets and tell their story about the trip.  In order to do this students would have to synthesize their planet information and present it in their own words demonstrating understanding and generalization of the information.
