When exploring all the podcast options I decided to use Soundcloud. I have used Podomatic which is known as Podbean, so I decided to use one that I have not. I really enjoyed Soundcloud because the page was very easy to navigate. You were not having to go through loop holes to find the upload button or to get back to your podcast once you had uploaded it. It was also relatively easy to find the share button. It gave you plenty of different options to share your podcast. I also think that Podbean is easy to navigate. It is also a very organized page with everything you need. I like how there is more than one way to get to different spots. I thought Soundcloud was a little more organized, but I enjoyed both. I love how on Soundcloud there is a place for your collection. It has it organized by what you have liked, who you are following, playlists, stations, and your history. This would make it so easy to refer back to a podcast that you have listened to. I did not care for Audioboom. I thought it was confusing the way it was set up. The more you explored the easier it got to navigate, but I liked how Soundcloud and Podbean were pretty easy from the get go! If I were to have to recommend just one I would recommend Soundcloud! I think it would be easy for students to explore and figure out too! Searching was easy because you just search with the search bar, but I wasn't finding what I wanted too. I think it would be good to talk to other people about who they follow or search individual people. Also, checking out different librarians blogs, Twitter, magazines to find some good podcast to follow. For my podcast I made a "Meet the Teacher" to share with my parents this year. Overall, I think podcast are a great way to share information because it will stay on your channel for others to refer back too.

Meet the teacher is a really good idea for a podcast! It's a good way to give parents a chance to become familiar with their child's teacher if they are unable to make it to traditional open house venues. Nice Job!

Your meet the teacher idea is really good. Like Lisa said it helps if others aren't able to make it to open house or come later in the semester. It could also be a fun way for students to introduce themselves to their class as well.
