Hey everyone check out my delicious site!!! I hope you find some of the resources helpful. For the last few where it was more open to what we could find so I focused them toward my major, since I thought they would be useful in the future. I found websites about teaching in general and helpful hints, and also ones about special needs specifically regarding education. Enjoy! :)

Podcasting

Podcasting is a tool that one can use to record their voice and then share their recording with others. I used Garage Band to make my first podcast. I found it to be very easy to use and many features that enhance your recording. It was also easy to add music. They offered a few options or I could have easily added my personal music from my iTunes account. Overall, I was very impressed with my Garage Band podcasting experience. The main issue I had was trying to get it into a format that would transfer to my blog. I can definitely see myself using this technology again in the future. Next time would be even easier since I now know what format I need to save it in.

A podcast could be useful for as a teacher if you wanted to record a lesson for an absent student to listen to later. Also, could be used if you were going to be gone and needed to personally tell your class something. Outside of that podcasts are a wonderful way to find experts on certain subjects and then you could easily play that to your class or personally listen to it just to gain knowledge.

The best advice I would give to someone who is making a podcast is to be patient. Not only with the development of the podcast, because that was the easy part for me, but with getting it somewhere to share with others. If using a Mac it most likely will not be saved into a transferable file. So convert it to an mp4 to your iTunes and it is a lot easier to work with. I hope that this advice helps. Also, if you have never tried to make a podcast... give it a try... you might find it to be a very useful technology after a little exploration.

About Me!

Hello everyone, I am Denise Woodall and am excited to have the opportunity to share with you all some of my experience that I have throughout this class. I am a sophomore here at IUPUI. I transfered here last semester from Indiana Wesleyan. I am greatly enjoying my time thus far at IUPUI, though I do miss my friends from Indiana Wesleyan a lot!!

Other than school I also work for the YMCA doing an after school program in Wayne Township Schools. This is definitely a job of ups and downs, but in the end very rewarding. It has reminded me of how much I love to work with children, even on the most frustrating of days, and why I want to become a teacher. I have worked there since September and have developed a wonderful relationship with the children and also my co-workers. I am very thankful for the job that I have and the opportunities it has provided me with.

I also spend a lot of time with friends and family. I have a wonderful family, immediate and extended, and we do basically everything together. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful, caring family and thank God for that every day. I also have great friends, most of whom I have known since Jr. High. We have been through so much together, nothing could ever replace those memories. It is awesome to have so many people that care about me and that I know I can go to at any time. Along with them I also have a wonderful church family, who I have drawn close to over the past couple years. I try to live my life in a way that would honor God each and everyday. I have learned that He will see me through even the toughest of situations. This is my life in a nutshell and I hope this gives everyone a good idea of who I am and what is most important in my life.
