Week 11 Report and Reflection

Hello classmates, instructors and peers!
This class and semester has flown by, cannot believe this is the second last week! Also Happy Easter to everyone, I am glad the weather has cleared up for Easter Sunday!

Feedly
This week, I decided to focus on an article about the Goodman School of Business at Brock University and some special guests that had joined students to talk about entrepreneurship. If you look to the picture below, you may recognize the two people from the hit show 'Dragons Den'.

Jim Treliving (left), and Bruce Coxon (middle) are two members of the Dragons Den that have been very successful from starting new businesses. It is often interesting hearing about how you can be successful from those who are successful themselves.

It is now Tuesday at 1pm when I am writing this article and I missed them by an hour! Very disappointed as I am a student in Sport Management that is interesting in entrepreneurship as we had to take a class on that last year.

Podcasting
This week, we explored many tools that can be used to create a podcast or screencast while learning how to create our own. If you want to learn about Garageband, check out my podcast which is included in my last blog post!

I intend to use podcasts to further my learning on topics in which I do not understand in the future. In my learning experiences when I struggle to understand a topic, I have looked at youtube videos to help me understand better. However, it can often be exhausting to sit and watch a long video about a topic --- This is why podcasting can be so effective because you can listen to it on the go.

This summer, I am working at a job that allows me to listen to music to keep me busy. Therefore, if I download many podcasts to listen to throughout the day, that will further my knowledge on that certain concept.

Garageband
By using Garageband and working with the features of the program to create my podcast, it allowed me to become more knowledgeable for future experiences in which I will need to record my voice or a person talking. I was not familiar with using Garageband to record voices as I had only used it in the past to create a song. It is another tool that I can use toward making my presentations more interesting in the future. 

I will add Garageband to my PLE as I will be able to use it to send voice messages to people that are far away or to educate others by recording my voice and creating a podcast. I will add it under the research section of my PLE as I intend to use it for educational purposes.


Have an excellent last week of school everyone!!

See you next time,
Sammy
