Thing #18

I have to admit that I’ve tried to make my podcast on several occasions, and I just can’t seem to make it work!  I’ve really tried not to procrastinate in this course.  As you can see by the dates on my blog posts, I skipped Thing #18 a long time ago.  Now, one day before the deadline, I still can’t get it done.  The microphone on my computer just isn’t powerful enough, and the headset isn’t working.  I’m going to try it one more time at work tomorrow.  And, if I can’t get it to work, then I might be forced to give up.  I certainly hope this ONE problem won’t affect my overall completion of this course.

I love podcasts, though!  I’ve subscribed to them for  along time on itunes, and I love listening to them when I travel.  In fact, I’ll be flying to D.C. over Labor Day weekend, and I’ll likely listen to the podcasts on the plane (once we’re above 10,000 feet, of course).  Haha!  I don’t imagine that I’ll ever create my own podcast.  My 60-year-old dad has one, though!  His Thursday night Bible study in his living room is now on itunes…How cool is that?  Of course, I subscribed to it.

Since I’m required to give at least one idea for a podcast, I suppose that I could create a podcast recording of each day’s homework assignment.  While that sounds silly, it would probably be a big hit with my students.  They frequently forget what their homework assignment is, but they never forget their ipods!
