My favorite Podcasts came from Driving Questions 2010. Two of my favorite podcasts from Kevin Honeycutt were "iPad in the classroom," and "Facebook Talk." The first iPad podcast made me thin about how useful iPads will be for my future students as opposed to just using computers at the school, or the lack their of. Students would be able to work on class projects and assignments that they specifically need school applications at home. This would allow for projects and work assignments to be done sooner instead of having to wait for class time to work on it, which will in turn allow you to move on to other projects and assignments.
The other podcast I really found interesting was the discussion of Facebook and how it is being used as an outlet for bullying of some students. Cyberbullying has increased over the last few years with the growth of technology. Many kids don't realize that once you post something on the internet, it can be viewed by just about anyone, and it is nearly impossible to get rid of. Students are having to deal with hurtful things other students are posting about them, and more often than not many other students join in. The best thing to do is to try to show the bullies that what they are doing is wrong and hurtful, but doing it in a way so they also understand that these kind of things can come back to haunt you.
