1)"Burp Back Education"
This podcast was conducted by Patricia Robbins, Meghan St. Amant, and Courtney Morris. The topic of the podcast is very relevant to Academia today. They did a very good job of giving opinions and personal experiences. They included humor and some statistics. Considering they have never done this before they did a very good job. Some things they all could work on are talking louder, clearer, and a little slower. As a group, the transitioning between person to person was okay, but could definitely improve.


2)"Technology Use in University of South Alabama Classes"
The participants of this podcast were Mandy Sullivan, Lisa Burke, and Scarlett Moore. They did a wonderful job of giving specific examples of the ways they like technology use in the class and the types of technology they don't like. They did a good job of speaking loudly and clearly. One thing they could work on like the previous group is just the transitioning from one to another. Nothing they did wrong, just a lack of experience doing this. There really are not any glaring negatives to me about this group.


3)"Facebook As An Educational Tool"
They did a great job providing a background for the history of Facebook and the pros and cons of the site. One thing that is missing to me is emotion about the topic. It is a little mono toned to me. They all did great giving their opinions and the ways they use it to further their education. I liked how they contacted USA faculty to ask their opinions. Jalissa Mobley, Stephanie Ellis, and Danielle Tasker were the ones who did this podcast.


4)"Last Lecture of Randy Pausch"
This was my podcast group. The other members were Taylor Irvin, Bree Smith, and Jenny Mosely. First of all I sound like robot, my voice sounds ridiculously deep.
We did the worse job transitioning than anyone else. One person stopped so another stated talking. We weren't very organized with our thoughts as a group. We did have some content knowledge, we just did not pull it together well as a group. I think we could have done this a lot better if we had coordinated together some before we did it.
