Technology Podcast

Today I finished creating my podcast about a contemporary issue with technology. I chose an article from The Arizona Republic website entitled “Schools starting to allow use of Digital Devices” by Amy Wang.

This article talked about different schools in Arizona that are beginning to use technology in their classroom, like Ipads and cellphones. It discussed their methods, along with different professional opinions on the effectiveness of this technology and its potential problems.

I spent a lot of time revising my script to make it clear and concise. I felt that summing the article along with providing an intro and reaction was very difficult to do in less than 3 minutes so it took a lot of movement and wise word choices.  I also felt it was difficult to find a suitable introduction tune for the beginning and ending of the podcast.

I used the tune Radio Martini from Royalty Free Music for my introduction: Music: Kevin MacLeod

My phone ring for the sound effect was done by my very own Samsung cell phone.
