EDM310 Class Podcast

The first podcast that I listened to was "Blogging and Teaching". This podcast was presented by Rachel Davis, Justin Tullis, and Myrenda Howze. The group as a whole had good information and interacted well with each other. Transitions were very smooth and everyone seemed relaxed. However, toward the end there seemed to be growing spaces of dead air between speakers. It sounded as if they had begun to run out of things to talk about and were trying to stretch what they had. The group spoke clearly and loudly enough, they could be well heard and it was pleasant to listen to.

The second podcast was "Can You Tube Be Used for Educational Purposes". The presenters were Adrienne Lynch, Joylyn Reese, and Brian Stevens. The group seemed to have researched their topic very well. It was very informative and they were able to show the pros and cons of You Tube. The only problem that I noticed was the transitions and they were a bit rough. Maybe they didn't have enough time together to coordinate their information for presentation. Toward the end the group began to fade a little and there was a little dead air in the broadcast, but it was great information.

The third podcast was "Reflections on The Lecture of Randy Pausch". The group was Brett Kittrell, Jenny Mosely, Taylor Irvin, and Bree Smith. Once again, I felt that there was good information in the content of the presentation. Perhaps, they could speak a little louder and more clearly. Their presentation was very enthusiastic but the transitions were a little rough. There was good group participation.

The fourth podcast was the one I helped present called, "College of Education Classes and Technology Used in Them". The group members were Kathryn Bentley, Kerrie Owens, and Hanna Nolan. I think were prepared and had good information but, I don't think that we interacted as much as we could have as a group. The presentation was given like three individual speeches. I need to speak more loudly and clearer but, I don't like the sound of my voice and this didn't surprise me. Everyone else was loud enough and clear enough to be heard well. We needed to interact more as a group.
