Reflection #6

The purpose of my podcast was to show someone how to make a paper ballon from a regular 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I learned how to make this ballon back in 6th grade from a fellow classmate. I remeber having to ask him to make it multiple times until I got it. I then spent the next few days making one in every class period. Without actually seeing someone make it I am sure I would have lost interest and given up trying. If a picture is worth a thousand words a video must be worth 2012. For this podcast I used jing and a webcam that had been in the back of draw for the last 3 years. With the use of jing it was very easy to make. In the futuer I will need to perfect the lighting and audio. The microphone in the webcam gives poor quality audio. I envision using podcast to define/explain concepts in class that students can then access and review at home or teach my daughter how to make a paper balloon.
