Judy Scharf's Podcast Collection:
Judy Scharf's Podcast Collection is a simple information site for either someone wanting to produce a podcast or someone teaching a class to do one now. Ms. Scharf breaks down the process into sensible and easy to view sections. She provides links for instructional videos on both YouTube and TeacherTube that show how to do a podcast. All the Information on Ms. Scharf's Collection was very informative and helpful  to me a ton.


The Practical Principals with Melinda Miller and Scott Elias:
Melinda Miller and Scott Elias's Blog about Practical principals was simply information for someone who did not know how to set up a podcast. It shows you how to get started and what to do for each kind of software that you have. There are clickable links for you to click on so that you can know just exactly what they are trying to explain. It goes in depth if you keep scrolling down the blog.

The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom By: Joe Dale
Joe Dale's Blog was set up to me perfect, right when you go to his blog there is a video you can watch about what the benefits are of a podcast. The first thing I did was watch the video. He states that the podcast can be heard anytime anywhere and that is the biggest benefit. Kids spend countless hours on computers, video games, and other types of electronic devices. This is why Joe says that podcast offers a new way to teach your kids to learn and have fun with it. Podcast projects allow students to show their creativity. Also if kids are sick they can stay home and still get lecture notes downloaded to their itunes as a podcast. This site was very informative and it does show the importance of a podcast.

While visiting and watching videos I have learned that podcast are very important in schools now days. Not only can kids listen to lectures on their ipods but they can also use this when they are home sick. This is almost like having a virtual teacher around 24/7. There are no excuses for not knowing the material if your teacher has a podcast. This would be something that I wish we had when I was in grade school, maybe if I heard it over and over I would have gotten better grades.

    rite should be right
    their should be there

    Just be sure to proofread your post carefully for those small mistakes. They're easily preventable if you're looking for them. Also, you need to include clickable links, like this one to an easy HTML website.

    And when you do the ALT and TITLE modifiers for your images, you need to have the url for the image (aka the link) in the TITLE area. The description of the image goes in the ALT section.

    Other than that, I can tell you are enthusiastic about education, which is great. Keep up the good work!
