The overall experience of creating a podcast was actually fun once I had decided on the topic of the podcast. I am late in gettingn the assignment turned in and still it isn't complete. Not to excuse my tardiness but to explain that things have been out of my control to an extent with my computer crashing and trying to save everything on it that I need (the entire four years of my sons life in pictures and video, assignments) and multiple family members that have been hospitalized over the last week and a half. My mind hasn't exactly been honed in to classes.
I think that podcast are a great way for teachers to share their lesson ideas. If a podcast was thorough enough it could take the place of students actually doing an experiment hands on. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this but science is a subject that is weened out of classroom time due to teachers needing to meet the requirement of standardized test, in these instances podcast could be beneficial.
