One of the things I neglected to address in the beginning of the semester is "Murphy's Law." That is known as the old saying "anything that can go wrong, will." I typically put it on the syllabus of all "tech-based" courses that I teach, but this is the perfect venue for bringing it up.<br /><br />Congrats on having a back up plan. Yes, it is very, very frustrating when technology doesn't work. I cannot tell you how many times I have had panicked, annoyed and frustrated students have technology fail and ask me "why can't we just WRITE this?" So having a back up plan as well as being able to think of alternative routes is key.<br /><br />One more thing that I think we can all learn from this....don't procrastinate. I know from my years of using technology in instruction it has made me test the tech weeks and months ahead of time. I always tell students to pretend the project is due a day or two earlier....that way if there are any snafus they have time to work around them.<br /><br />Again, nice job. I have no idea why your mic didn't work, but I'm glad you found a way to still produce a successful podcast.T.O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863308702990788565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114045639929381526.post-13493257256282816222012-03-03T13:06:19.639-08:002012-03-03T13:06:19.639-08:00It's good to see that you were able to adapt w...It's good to see that you were able to adapt what you were doing to get the assignment finished. I had an issue like that in a class last semester, and it was annoying. But it's good that you had it happen to you as a student so you don't panic when it happens to you in the classroom.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952615440502938919noreply@blogger.com
