Internship+Reflection+June+2009

Technology Standard II - Apply current research on teaching and learning with technology when planning learning environments and experiences. Technology Standard III-Facillitate technology-enhanced experiences that address content standards and student technology standards. || 8 || During the summer of 2009, I assisted Dr. Chris Deason by helping teach a course at Texas Tech. The course was designed to teach Upward Bound students about podcasting. It was a 3 week course that taught students everything you could think of that dealt with podcasting. We learned about sound and audio files. We learned how podcasts are getting more and more popular and why they are so intriguing. We learned about video files. We learned and searched through podcasts on I-tunes. We wrote scripts and produced several group projects on handheld audio devices that resulted in our very own published Podcasts. Students played with microphones, learned detail about how the different types of microphones worked and how they were used. Students tinkered with audio software to mix music with their voice. Students researched copyright laws and learned about using other individuals work. Students had a very educational learning experience by working with Dr. Deason and learning from his enthusiastic point of view about technology. We __ALL__ learned a lot from this experience.
