EDLD 5363 Week 2 Web Conference Reflection

EDLD 5363 Week 2 Web Conference
The web conference experience throughout this course has been very beneficial in gaining insight to modifications of assignments.  The web conferences have also provided me an opportunity to learn about the diverse group of people that are participating in this course.  I have found it useful to listen to other participants and to see their comments regarding the multimedia products that we are using in this course.  It seems that many people in this course have not previously used Audacity, LAME, and other open-source software.  I have used Audacity and LAME for read-alouds.  I often read stories a loud and add sound effects to the stories.  My colleagues and I use these stories in class with our students.
During the web conferences, many people had questions on whether the podcast had to be audio only or could it be video.  It was discussed that it only had to be audio in the chat sessions and video was an option.  I chose to create a video podcast since the rubric states, “Successfully exported to a free video hosting Web site, such as TeacherTube.com (2 Points)”.  Here is a link to my Week 2 Podcast:
