Exploring+Podcasts+WebQuest

 A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?

In this WebQuest you will have a chance to listen to some good and some poorly designed podcasts. As you listen keep a running list of what makes a good podcast and what you would change in the poorly designed podcasts. We will post this list of the good and bad of podcasting on the discussion tab of this page. Lastly, you will begin to gather several sound bites to design your podcast. Please post a list of resources you used to find sound bites for your podcast. Headphones are recommended to complete this WebQuest.
