I really enjoyed the presentation for the K-12 teachers by Dr. Todd. I think she made podcasting with students seem less daunting and more accessible. I know it's something I would love to learn more about and do with my students in the future. She made it seem like podcasting with students was actually possible, especially that she was doing it with middle school students, who can sometimes be difficult to work with.
