The first podcast that I listened to was "Watchers and Listeners- How do we respond?" The students are analyzing John Strange's thesis on Cultural Revolution. It has been 13 years seen the article was written by John Strange. It is very interesting to know that 13 years ago things that he talks about in his article are becoming none existent like he stated.

Technology is so interesting because things are rapidly changing daily. They talk about the explosion of technology and how you need more memory to house all of the things that people need. And most people are turning to movies instead of reading. The world is becoming very technical in all aspects. The article really enlightened me on the fact that most people are turning to more technological things. That seems to be the modern way.

The second podcast that I listened to was a discussion about using youtube for educational purposes. I thought this discussion was really great because youtube is a great tool to use in the classroom. Youtube has different uses and is easy and useful for most people. Youtube is a key website for math tutorials, foreign language, paper writing and etc.

Youtube is a great way to help students review subject material if they may miss a class. Also youtube offers ways to install software to your computer if you are having difficulty. Youtube is a great educational tool. If feel if I chose to use youtube in my classroom it would be great for me and the students. So youtube will definitely be apart of my classroom activities.
