Pondering Podcasts


I recently finished podcast #10 out of 15 by Anita Woolfolk. I really enjoyed listening to her, for several reasons: 


1. She was engaging
2. Her passion for the material 
3. Her knowledge of educational psychology
4. The way she concisely condensed each chapter

Listening to the podcasts really helped me grasp the material from each chapter. I have a very hard time teaching myself, especially if I only have text available to me.  When I am able to listen to the material I am supposed to learn, it makes it that much easier. Add on the PowerPoints and I had some great resources to lean back on when the textbook stopped making sense to me (which happened quite a few times). 
Because Anita is the author of the textbook, she was able to put her writing into very simple terms to be sure that students gained a true understanding of the material in the text. 

My responses to the podcasts are on my e-folio. Here is a direct link to my responses to 4 of my favorites. I am waiting to listen to the last 5 before I choose a 5th one to add to my e-folio.
