Extra Credit Assignment- Intermediate and Advanced, due Tuesday (3/25) by 5PM
Extra Credit Assignment
Due TOMORROW (Tuesday, March 25th) by
5pm
(because I have to
finish calculating grades Tuesday night)
Directions
Listen to at least 3 of your classmates’ podcasts that are
uploaded on podomatic.com, and leave a comment for each podcast you listen to.
Then email me (hannahkovacs@csinow.com)
to tell me which 3 podcasts you commented on.
Please follow these guidelines in your comments:
1.
Respond
specifically to the content of the podcast.
For example, you could…
a.
Comment on something you learned in the podcast
b.
Ask a question about something you heard in the
podcast, or something related to it
c.
Share some of your own information that’s
related to the podcast topic
d.
Don’t just say “I like your podcast.” That
doesn’t show that you listened to it thoughtfully J
2. Sign your name at the end of your comment.
a.
Because we are all sharing my podomatic account,
it will not automatically show your name.
b.
So, when you’ve finished typing your comment,
you should add your first name at the bottom, for example “-Hannah”
c.
If you realize you forgot to add your name, then
just copy and paste your old comment into a new comment and include your name
there.
3. I think this goes without saying, but you
should always be respectful and encouraging in your comments.
a.
Your classmates put a lot of work into these
projects, and recording your own voice can be a little scary.
b.
So, stay positive in your responses!
c.
For
example, if you disagree with something in your classmate’s podcast, express
your disagreement respectfully and helpfully, or choose a different podcast to
comment on J
