 * What was I supposed to accomplish and how?** I decided to relate a few key points from the video "Digital Nation" and touch on these within the context of a voice discussion podcast. Over the course of several chapters, I found a number of interesting elements related to technology in the classroom and in society in general. I related these ideas to the way we, as future educators, will be able to expand and broaden our teaching strategies.======

I learned a great deal about podcasting, how to make a podcast and subscribe to one through the class discussion and itunes. Though I have subscribed to podcasts in the past, it was interesting seeing it from the other end, how it is made and put together and then sent out as "episodes". I also saw potential value of this in a //classroom// setting, in a way that includes all students with various points of view and many different "hallways" of ideas to travel down. We have so much to learn from each other.======

 * What should I have done differently?** I believe I could have taken more time to work on the podcast and learn about it, because I see so much that could be used with this in a class (or even in a business) setting. I would like to learn more about podcasting, and possibly "Audacity", which I've heard a great deal about lately.======

**Why is this artifact important to my targeted career?**
While I have enjoyed subscribing to various podcasts on Itunes, I never really saw the potential for its use in an //educational// setting. Like a class wiki, however, there is a tremendous amount of potential for communication, and for the sharing of new and varied ideas that might never have been uncovered in the regular classroom setting. I feel much more confident about delving deeper into podcasts, and truly feel they will strengthen me as an educator as well as a person. We all must learn so that we might teach, and then finally teach so we can then //learn// all over again.
