Blog Week 10

I think the podcast webquest assignment was a good one to tackle. If for no other reason than understanding the process and appreciating the time involved in creating a podcast. The negative was the learning curve involved. The littlest technology snafu created frustration and wasted a lot of time.

Reading blog posts of other class members was helpful.  Their discussion of the uses for podcasts or the things they learned helped me put a few more pieces of the puzzle together.  The blog was not as helpful as the group meetings.  They were essential.

My group was great.  I really enjoyed them.  We each played a different role.  Mary kept us on track. Bonnie was the techie. I contributed graphics and content.  Bonnie recently got a new MAC.  It has great podcast capabilities but the platform was unfamiliar.  Sometimes we knew that we could do something but we didn't know how to do it.  It slowed us down to have to figure things out as we went along.  All in all, it was a great group experience.

I would highly recommend the Bettendorf Library as a meeting place.  The study room we used worked really well and we had no interruptions.
