I Did It!

I have been worried about doing my podcast ever since we were assigned the task. My wonderful media specialist here at OBM gave me some material on it and we talked about it, but I was still hesitant. Finally, yesterday, my colleague, Julie Newell, said she had done her podcast the night before and it was easy. Since my student teacher is now at the point that she needs to be left alone with my students some during the day, I decided to try my luck. We are studying poetry in my classroom now, so I decided to read some poems for my podcast. I slipped into a classroom that wasn't being used at the time and made my recording. Other than the custodian coming in and asking how I was doing, it went off without a hitch. Later in the day I decided I wanted to add a picture to my podcast. I went back down to my trusty media specialist for help with this. She told me I had inspired her and that she had done a book review on her blog yesterday morning. This all goes to show anyone can do a podcast if I can. Maybe I won't be as hesitant the next time a new thing comes my way. I also discovered that it is wonderful to be able to get help from others as well as to give help to others.
