During week 14 and week 15 each student will lead a 5-10 minute class discussion over an example podcast/vodcast that he or she has located. (Students should select podcasts/vodcasts that have similar subjects to those they would like to address in their own podcasts/vodcasts.) Before leading discussions, students will make a blog post about the selected podcast/vodcast containing the following information:
- A link to the podcast/vodcast.
- The title of one episode of the podcast/vodcast that you would like the class to hear/see.
- A short analysis (approximately 300 words) of the podcast/vodcast website and its episodes.
- A question for the class to spark discussion about your podcast.
Blogs must be posted by midnight of the class period before they are to be discussed. This means the first group of bloggers (Amy, Ashley B., Erin, Maria, Olivia), who lead class on Monday, April 5, must have their blogs posted by midnight of Friday, April 2. This is because all students (even bloggers) are responsible for posting at least one comment to one of the blogs before the following class meeting. Posted blogs will be accessible through the "Blogs" link on the right of every page.
Bloggers should be prepared to discuss their topic with the class for 5-10 minutes. During this discussion, bloggers should share their own thoughts, cover the comments their post received, and ask new questions.
