Emerging Technology # 1

Podcasting:

A podcast is an audio or video file that is distributed worldwide. It can be syndicated, subscribed to and downloaded automatically when new content is added. Podcasting is a relatively new technology that can be very useful for teaching and sharing information amongst peers.

I learned how to make a podcast from the Apple website:

This is the first time that I have tried to make a podcast. I have learned the basics; however it will take some time for me to completely master making them. The above mentioned website was very useful and I encourage you to check it out.

Introduction

My name is Latira Barnett. Most people call me Tira. I am a General Studies major and I am graduating in May 2009. I currently work at WellPoint and enjoy what I do there. I plan on teaching one day and hope to coach girls' basketball again.

Basketball is my favorite sport. I played in high school, unfortunately I did not get to play in college. My dream goal is to one day coach at the college level and then the WNBA. I always go to Fever games whenever time permits. I encourage everyone to support our home teams here in Indiana.

I do not have any kinds but I do have a dog. His name is Defense and he is a tan/white colored Chihuahua. This is my first dog that I have had on my own and he is a handful.

I started this blog for my technology class at IUPUI and I hope that you enjoy it.
