Week of Sept. 22

This week I concentrated on my podcast assignments, which I worked on mostly at home (I think that most people at least recorded themselves talking at home - firstly because it can be a bit too loud in the classroom, causing too much background noise, and secondly because it can be a bit embarrassing recording yourself talking about yourself in the middle of a classroom). I'm enjoying working on it, though. I've never made a podcast before, so it is all very new to me. I especially had fun with the sound clips - like a lightsaber and a clip from Grease. I e-mailed my links in on the 24th. With the background music I chose for my introduction podcast, however, I kind-of think that it makes it sound like one of those sad, sappy commercials with the pictures of the sad little children or animals (during which, my husband always has to say, "No, we cannot get another cat!"). But overall, I had a lot of fun with the podcasts. I think that especially the introduction podcast will be useful during my college career.
