My Daily Phase of Italian
This podcast is about learning some basic Italian phase day by day. The purpose of "My Daily Phase of Italian" is teaching people some daily phase. For example: First lesson is about learn how to say hello and goodbye and the title of the lesson is "Today you'll learn how to say hello and goodbye.",it would teach line by line and word by word. The reporter or the host would repeat 3 to 4 times of the word; also in between the host repeating the word he/she pause for 3 to 4 seconds to let the listener try to pronounce the word.I think this "My Daily Phase of Italian" podcast is quite useful and fun. Listener just spend a few minutes per day to learn a new language.
Hoops & Yoyo Official Podcast
This is a podcast the Hoops and Yoyo two cartoons characters that they are doing a talk show and chat during the podcast. They talk some random topics and funny topics. Also they have their own opening song. Somehow I think they are kind of noise since they are talking about funny topics and laughing and gaggling lot so they are kind of loud.
An evaluation of your podcasting experience
Listening to podcast would be a fun experience,,I was quite enjoy listening to online podcasting. Just you have nothing to do at home and your home is without a television listening to online podcasts would be something fun to do. I learn something form it and gain some joy from it. Why not keep this as a habit. haha~
From my point of view I think would be like online radio but the format and way you get and listen would be a new way. People can turn on the radio at a certain time to listen to a specific program, but through online podcasting, the listener can download to where every MP3 player he/she wants and listen to it anytime. I can't really definite it is a better or worse method from the other information provider e.g. magzaine newspapers, it because they are different in their format. Overall I would said it is a good and tools for people getting informations in a faster ways.It give people another new options on choosing informations.
Evaluation of the audiobook idea (Pro’s and cons of books in this format)
"An audiobook is a recording that is primarily spoken word. It is often based on a recording of commercial printed material. It is not necessarily an exact audio version of a book." This is the definition from Wikipedia.org.
It is a new invention for the world which can help people who don't like to read books have another option on how to read books. I could be one of the example, with audiobooks I have read more since it have the sound "reading" out and my eyes is reading from the book that would better for me to understand the book. Another group of people who would be gain benefit from these audiobooks would be the blind people, now they can also "read" books now by listening to it.
From the other preceptive of this new inventions, it could help people who don't like to read books and understand it the word by word, but it would also pull down those people's reading ability. For example, if the person who like to read the book and listen from the audiobook at the same, but during exams no one would actually sat next to him/her to read the passage or the question to him/her. It may creative another serious problem on decreasing the learning ability.
Video
What has made something like YouTube so successful?
The reason why Youtube is so successful is because it allows people to share video podcast and interest videos online.One of the main reason as I think it is free, and it is world wide.
If comparing "Google video", "YouTube" it is much more diverse, and many of the video at Google are from "YouTube".
Cooking Sense
This podcast is about cooking the director is Nick Dunigan and the chif is Zach Niebel each episode they are teaching how to cook a dish. step by steps.I like this podcasting it teach how to cook and step by steps and they speak slow that i could follow easily; since is it a video it is better than a cook book that we can actually what the colors and the looks of the food.
Sesame Street Podcast
Sesame Street podcast they have 2 sections the have "Word on the Street" and "Happy Healthy Monster" they would introduce a word a day or introduce an action or exercise people would do daily. This is a very nice experience for me to watch Sesame street, it brings up memories when I was young watch TV and have fun with it!
For the experience of watching Vidcasting I think it is a very pleasure experience, because it is a good time killer, for people don't have a television it is a very good tools. I enjoy watch video podcast it is better than television. these video most likely that are mono purpose, and not many advertisement with it. I would like to keep this habit, and I think most of the video podcast are very useful, always with some teaching programmer.
o Is this method of providing information better, worse, different then others then things
like blogging (or more formal methods like magazines/newpapers)
From my point of view I think it is a better information provider, most of the video podcasting is free and each episode one teach a single message or skills
