My first attempt with Podcasting

Here I am, in my Saturday Podcasting class.

I really enjoyed learn how to create Podcast, and as many of the courses in my MA Educational Technology program:
1) Increased my awareness of the 'behind-the-scene' work
2) Reinforced the fact that 'good intentions; do not make -necessarily - good educational products
3) Helped me to find new areas to be passionate about

Our teacher (Bernie Dodge) said that make podcasts is like make pancakes, no matter how much effort you put, always the fisrt one will not be perfect ... however as much as you practice ... you will master the art (pancakes & podcasts).

Here is my first pancake (Bernie Dodge dixit):
A 2:50' Podcast about bad reasons of why parents don't talk to their kids about drugs.

I re-purposed the text I found in one interesting adversitement about the same topic.
I wrote to them to get the permission to use the wording ... I have not answer yet ... so this is purely for educational purposes.

A special 'Thank You' to Margaret, Bindu, John, Suzi & Aaron for their collaboration.

The organization is called The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, their website is http://www.drugfree.org/, I like very much the way they approach the topic.
