Hello everyone,
Welcome to week 11 we are one more week away from completing
this course I personally really enjoyed the ride and the course was a lot of
fun. Through the course, I have seen my
PLE develop in a well-equipped arsenal of tools. But on the matter at hand this
week I created my first podcast it was an amazing
experience, however, I did find it a bit difficult
as narrating something to myself was
harder than expected. To overcome this situation I created wore down the items I
wanted to address and make a makeshift
script this made creating my podcast much easier. I have a new found respect
for people who do improve because I tried doing that and it was very difficult.
I used Sound cloud to
create my podcast and as I was kind of biased towards it since many of my friends
use it for posting their EDM music. But keeping all bias aside I really enjoyed
using Sound cloud as it was quite
straight forward and as an added bonus I could use my google account to sign
in, so I did not have to go through the hassle of creating a new account.
I am not sure if I will be adding sound cloud to my PLE as although
I enjoy listening to podcasts I think this one experience is enough for me. And
since I will rarely be making podcasts I am not sure how useful it is to add it
to my PLE. Maybe I can add a new section
to my PLE diagram titled ‘rarely used tools’ (I might just do that).
This week on my Feedly I came across an interesting article “how
to: survive on a desert island” (click here).
Everyone has seen survivor and thought this seems easy and can easily be
replicated or am I the only one? Either way,
this article shattered my dreams because it is anything but easy. The article is
about the rescue of Alexander Selkirk a man’s whose adventure inspired the
story of Robinson cruise. I always use to think once you have your food and
shelter figured out you are pretty much set. However,
I forgot to take into consideration one
the main concerns loneliness. As humans,
we are social creatures and thrive off
social interactions, living on a deserted island the same loneliness will come
to haunt you. I never considered loneliness as a factor but the more I think about
it the more I come to grip with the gravity of the situation. That’s all for
today folks see you next week

Hello Keval,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the interesting post! I thought your podcast was informative and well executed using Soundcloud -great job! I initially thought of using Soundcloud for my podcast by recording an audio track but ultimately found Voki to be more an interactive tool especially with Avatar creation/customization in my opinion. In addition, I found that writing up a script to organize your thought-process led to a more coherent content being produced. Overall, this is actually my first time creating a podcast which is definitely an exciting experience where I express my thoughts in a presentation format while sharing it online so whenever you have time check it out!
Thank you.
