Podcasting (Get ready to get Juiced)

I listened to Brad Neisssen on the new technological tool that can be a good resource for educators everywhere. Mr. Neissen talks about a program that allows you to watch television on the internet and gives a list of some television stations that provide different programs that can be viewed on this platform. I love this idea because it is an easy way for teachers to incorporate technology into their classroom. If you (a teacher) is doing a lesson on Africa, you can get a video from Animal Planet that focuses on animals that live in Africa. I view this as taking a Safari without leaving the classroom.

This can also work in the professional field. In an industry such as welding or construction I can see where a meeting can begin with the history of the bridge or highway your workers will be repairing. This can give them a sense of pride knowing thy are working on something that may be an important aspect of their community or state. You can also talk about the advances we've made in technology and have a discussion on how easier or harder things are to fix or rebuilt using the technology then and today.

I believe this tool can be use in both the educational and professional settings as you can see from my examples above.
