Podcast Project ;)

Our Podcast topic was Digital Citizenship and Literacy. We broke it into Digital footprints, digital citizenship, and cyberethics. I had the cyberethics and actually learned a lot. I had no idea how many different organizations there were working with schools and parents and companies worldwide to help educate people about Internet safety and awareness.

Click here to view our Google doc where all our collaboration was done and our script was written and re-written. It was a very exciting process that I enjoyed immensely.

Here are the sources we used to find information for our Podcast.

This project was awesome. Not only did I get to learn how to use new software and web ware but I also was able to make new friends. I really enjoyed being able to do a group project with people who actually do work when they say they are going to. Its nice to find people you can work with efficiently. The Google doc helped us collaborate so we didn't have to meet face-to-face. And that was really nice because we all have our busy lives and other classes we are taking. It worked out really well.

It was nice to see how other people prefer to use different formats in Mind Mapping and how they can be useful. And learning to use Garage Band was very exciting. I am not as good with it as Erin is but I am looking forward to playing around with it in the future. She will not be in our next class so Malinda and I have to do it ourselves ;)

It was also nice to learn about Creative Commons during this poject and be able to use it for our podcast. I have other things I want to use it for and have already recommended it to other people who are musicians trying to get their music heard.

I have learned a lot about Macs (which I tend to hate) and the Internet that I never knew existed. I am really glad I took this class. I recommend it. Even if you think you are 'up' with the times, it never hurts to hear somebody else's perspective and what they know to be new to the 'net'.
