Podcast presentations today!!

Today in class we were presenting our podcasts that we chose.I presented mine on our russel peters and talked about what was on the podcast.There were technical difficulties though when we were uploading our podcasts to present to the class,i dont exactly know but it had something to do with someone(james) messing up the computer and so Mr.Case just told us to send him the links of our podcasts.After that there was no time left so the rest of the students have to present next class.After class he gave us our first term mark.I was very satisfied with my mark because It's an 88% but still i'm gonna try to work even harder in second term to improve that.Overall today was a really good class.

The podcast of my choice is russel peters

My original choice was to find an interesting podcast on fashion or soccer but since i couldnt find any interestings podcasts on those two choices.I decided to find a podcast on a really funny comedian, Russel Peters.The pocast i found is about russel peters in an interview and in his interview he talks about his upcoming show and details on how the show will be.The link for my podcast is:http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podshows/637193 and when you click the link it will take you straight to the site where i found the podcast on Russel Peters.

today in class

Mr.case told us too look up podcast, when i searched i found that it is a online directory for different things like entertainment, music, arts, nature. here's the url for podcast website: http://www.podcast.net/ on podcast you can also add your own podcasts.Basically on podcast you can search anything.

history:

The concept of podcasting was suggested as early as 2000 and its technical components were available by 2001.The editors of the New Oxford American Dictionary declared "podcasting" the 2005 word of the year, defining the term as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player.That is all i have researched on podcast but i will write more information on my next blog.

Types of presentations

Today we laerned about 3 types of presentations
- A general power point presentation which needs a presentor and is usually used for presenations
- A presenattion which keeps going on its own and doesn't need a presenter, one usually used for messages at certain facilities
- Interactive presentation, which has hyer links and action button and can be navigated through by any user and does'nt need a presenator either, rarely used but effective
