Student Viewpoints on... 24/7 Learning

You have been introduced to the power and potential for learning with a MacBook computer. Now, imagine the possibility of having this tool in your backpack 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What benefits to your learning would this create? What problems, if any, would arise if every student had their own school-issued MacBook. Brainstorm possible projects, learning opportunities, and things that would change if O'Neill adopted a 24/7 Learning Initiative.

Podcast review

The podcast that I chose is about football. In the begining of the podcast is making fun of one of the brodcasters because they had lunch with his family. Then they start talkin about Mike Shanahan and the say that he has some dirty tricks. My podcast is audio only. I think I would subscribe to it because its all about sports. I like to hear the latest news about sports.-Conner I.

Angel's Podcast

My podcast is about Husker football. They have made 18 podcasts. The people that host this are Kevin Kugler and Adrian Fiala. What these podcasts bring to us are Big Red Wrap-Ups providing a weekly recap of each Husker football game, including highlights, and in-depth analysis. Former Husker running back Damon Benning joins Kevin Kugler and Adrian Fiala for a talk about the upcoming Husker season. They also talk a little about how the other teams are doing. They also talk about championships and bowl games. They have a new episode once a week. I like to listen to these episodes that they make, because I like the Huskers.

Olivia's Podcast

My podcast was all about how modeles get their make-up done. It showed the artist putting the make-up on them and the models getting their picture taken. Then they showed a magazine with the finished product in it. The pictures were more enhanced, they probably used a program like photoshop or something simaliar. It was all music and video clips, there was no dialouge. It was about 2 minutes long. I checked the dates on all of the podcast submitted by Sephora and most of them were posted on one day, but there were a couple of random ones. I have subscribed to their channel to watch all of their upcoming podcast. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 9.

The podcast I watched.

The podcast I watched was a Seventeen Magazine one. It was about learning how make-up and hair artists did hair and make-up for the models during New York Fashion Week Fall 2007. I liked this podcast because it's all about hair and make-up by my favorite magazine. There are 23 episodes that come have one out each week. These podcasts are hosted by Desi, the beauty editor of Seventeen Magazine. I rate these podcasts a 9 out of a 10!

Michigan Loses

My podcast is about Michigan losing to apalichan state and many other teams and their positives and negatives. My podcast is about 19 min.
