Welcome to the Creating Your First Podcast Blog

I'm very excited about the Creating Your First Podcast Track for the Washington Working Connections IT Faculty Institute. I know I'll enjoy working with you to develop educationally effective podcasts for your students.

I'd like to use this blog to give you a preview of the podcasting track and to learn more about you. I'll be adding content as the weeks go by - things for you to look at and things for you to listen to.

I'll also be asking you to add comments about your expectations as well as your background and existing skill set. This will help me design appropriate learning activities and resources for you.

If you haven't dipped into blogs before, they are simple to navigate and use. The content (usually called posts) is presented in reverse chronological order with the newest listed at the top. There is a comment link at the end of each post and that's how I'll ask you to communicate with me and the rest of the participants.

Please add your comment after reading this post. Tell me your name, where you teach and what you teach, too. If you already know how you'll be using podcasts in your classes, tell me that as well.

And, again, welcome to the podcasting track!
