I was not new to creating podcasts, I had been tasked with creating a couple in previous classes. I must say that the first time I did have a bit of a problem because obviously, I had never created one and I ended up doing more steps than I needed to as I first recorded myself and then proceeded to download it unto the application that I used, which was Podbean. Not that that procees was difficult, because it really wasn't, it was just that like I said, I did more things than I needed to. Since I was already familiar with Podbean, I decided to use Podbean with this assignment as well. I can honestly say that it is incredibly simple.

When I first opened the site, I felt it was too busy. Too colorful (which was obviously expected being that it's a cartoon maker) with way too many options and I felt I did not know where to go, well, because I didn't know where to go! I panicked a bit, as I always do, but once I clicked on Create everythi...

YouTube When it comes to implementing more resources to grab students’ attention in the classroom, we have a wide variety of resources that can be used. Whether it be web applications, videos, or programs, educators in today’s time have a huge advantage over educators of twenty years ago. However, selecting media as resources in the classroom can also bring disadvantages. Because of the vast amount of resources out there, selecting the most appropriate ones can be a tedious task of trial and error. When looking through the various channels of libraries, I found so much relevant information/material, yet I had very clear in my mind that I had to select a videos that would be  helpful for teachers and videos that would greatly benefit students. And that, is a difficult task bevies there are several factors that must be taken into consideration in making this selection. The NHS Library One of the videos I chose was How To Use EBSOCOHost for a simple reason. It is highly infor...
