Thing 19 Podcasting

I just finished with two different podcasts. One for my personal life and one for school. I wanted to see the podcast from the San Diego Zoo but it was closed down because of an overload of people wanting to see the new baby panda. That is exactly why I wanted to go on. Will have to try back later.

I found a nice one on gardening. I was surprised to see it was by Connie Nelson. Maybe a distant relative of my husband. This will help me this year as I am branching out with the gardening. I have started all my veggies and this weekend I am starting a fruit garden. Blueberries and raspberries. So I am hoping to get hints out of this site.

For school I found a podcast that is all about different stories for children. I can use this at school maybe. Not sure if it is blocked or not. I can however share this with parents. Maybe they didn't know that you can download stories for children to listen to for free. I sure didn't know. I can use it this summer when my grandson comes to visit.

I think the podcasting is neat. I loved the example podcast that I listened to. It made me realize how easy it would be to live overseas today with all the technology out there. I could have been like that couple in Tokyo and set up a podcast. Then my family could have seen what I was up to and felt like they were there with me. I remember sending videos I made so my mom could see what life was like for me in Kobe, Japan. Times have changed since the 80's but wow! I do find it very amazing. Okay,,, I am rambling now so off to do Thing 20.

  1. I listened to both of you choices. Nice work! Loved the Awakening Beauty story. I think it may have even sounded nicer because of the British accent!
