Podcasting

My podcast is an informative speech about who I am and why I want to pursue a career in education. I was able to some of my background as well as my philosophy in education. I think this is a more personal and informative way of applying for jobs. Instead of human resources looking at application after application, they could just listen to someone's voice and their passion about teaching through a podcast. I think they could learn more about an individual in listening to what they have to say, rather than looking at a piece of paper that has shown what they have done. I think podcasting would be a great tool for substitutes. Teachers could use a podcast to give directions to the students when the teacher is gone for the day. Student's may listen and cooperate better hearing their teacher's voice, instead of listening to a sub, whom they do not know.
