Well I think I got threw the hardest part of the class which was podcasting. Don't ask me why it was so hard. It stressed me out the most though. Recording the lesson was the easiest part, once you liked your right recording. My problem though was uploading it to this blog and I still didn't figure it out. Last semster I did it and it was easy, I don't know what the difference was this time. Gabcast gives you directions on how to do it and I followed them to a T. In the process I somehow erased my best recording that had the clearest quality in my voice and music. Anyways at least its done and I'm tired of talking about it.
My podcast delt with bullying, which I think is a huge problem in schools. I used to teach a lesson on bullying the second day of class, so that the kids knew I wasn't going to put up with it and knew where I stood on the subject. A lot of students used to respond well to the lesson. Even though kids know they are hurting people when they are making fun of somebody, I really don't think they realize how bad it hurts them and the effects you could have from bullying. When you put the students in the shoes of the person being bullied though, I think they start to understand. Let them see and understand what it feels like.

Ohhh Terry, I know all about deleeting a podcast. I added music to mine too and oops... where did my stuff go? I finally got wise and put the music on another track. I also tracked out segments of my stuff so I could edit easier if necessary. But it is done. I like you idea about the bullying lesson. I teach a lesson on respect the second day of school. Students are so surprised because I teach computer classes and they are getting a lesson and a project on RESPECT! It really sets the attitude in the classroom for me though. They know up front that they are in a learning environment and not an arcade.

Judy, do you use Aretha's R-E-S-P-E-C-T?
Evidently, a lot of people found it easy to complete the podcast assignment, so let's chalk up any challenges to things we'll overcome. Your podcast sounded fine to me!
