Take 10

Today was a pretty funny day. My partner and I had to rerecord our podcast so many times because we would mess up on like one word or something small but i am such a perfectionist that i felt like it had to be perfect. Then when we did get it perfect i did not save the episode completly and so we had to rerecord it again. I think that everything happens for a reason because our last recording was definatly the best. Our classmates was telling us that it was perfect from becfore and making jokes about us doing it so many times. We found this very funny because they all heard us doing it and thought it was perfect but we did not. My partner and I also realized that we are the two loudest people in the class. I am very happy with the results of today's podcast.

Thinking Ahead

Last week Olivia and I got to podcast a full reading of our book so today we will do it again and try to make it perfect this time. I am used to my partner sitting next to me but the computer next to me does not work and someone is already sitting next to my partner so it will be diffuclut to work like we usually do. Our book is has a range of topics that can be discussed because there are so many things going on in our book. There is rhyme, numbers, animals etc. It should be very easy to come up with questions about our book because there are so many topics to discuss. I am excited about today. wish us luck.

Reflection 02/19/2010

Today my partner Olivia and i did our first full reading of our book. It went pretty well, we just messed up the prononucation of some of the words in the book and tripped up on a couple of words. Over all it was a good reading, we took our time and read at a steady pace. We decided that olivis would read the pages on the left side of the book and i will read the pages on the right side of the book and we transitioned well. For the next class olivia and i will have to make sure that we are looking ahead to be ready for those tricky words, we also need to look for a picture to add to our podcast of the book. I am excited to do other readings of our book because this reading went so well that i think it could only get better.

First podcasting experience

Today was my first time podcasting and i realized that podcasting is fairly easy. The only trouble i had was using the site because the site was a little confusing. I think if i play around with the site a little more then i would have no trouble with podcasting at all. It was very funny to hear my recorded voice because i sound so different compared to the voice i hear when i speak. I like podcasting because it is so much easier to speak what you want to say then to write it. I think that in the future the only problem i would have while podcasting is being aware of how clear i sound and how fast i talk. I have to be sure that my words are clear so that whoever is listening to my podcast can understand me clearly. Me nor my partner used the headphones this time but we were comfortable with just holding the mic so we will probably do that the next time. Check my podcast out guys!!!!!!! Olivia Torres is also fetured in my first podcast.

i did not write a lot because i had computer problems
