Class Podcast

Well I watched the class podcast and learned a great deal about it. First, It is a very nerve racking thing to do so please forgive my comments.

The assignment asks "How we could improve it" not me.

The first thing I would recommend is the set up or positioning of the people and camera. I would suggest: All on the long side of the table with the camera facing each persons face. It is a visual learning experience and people facing the camera more might help. The sound and visuals are what we are paying attention to.
Second, I would probably try to find out what was to be asked before hand and revise or do a run through. The idea of a improve is great, but it is designed to be informative (that should be as clear as crystal.) Although the improve brought up very good points, I bet there was one or two the panel wished they had added afterwards.
Lastly, each person knows who they are and what they have done/doing with there lives. Yet at the very start when asked to introduce themselves, they all looked at the paper or desk and not the audience.

On the flip side......

The suggestions the panel gave regarding knowing something well, and doing something well one thing at a time is great, and possibly the only, way to go with restrictions on time and budget. Technology can be extremely overwhelming and with a busy work life, social life, family life, it is extremely difficult to devote a lot of time to Blogging, Tweeting, Skyping, Networking, Podcasting, especially when you have to maintain a face as gorgeous as mine.
