Podcasts

I have dabbled with some podcasts before, but never knew much about them. The more I learn, the cooler they are. I can see how they would definitely help with teaching. Either the teacher could keep up with his/her specialties but subscribing to podcasts in the areas that he/she teaches, or teachers can create their own podcast for their students to follow. My teacher for mass communication did this and it was very helpful. It was also a very fun/new way to learn. I can also see how podcasts can help me in the field of journalism. If I had a certain beat that I was covering, I could subscribe to podcast that deal with that beat which would help keep me updated on everything happening. Also, it is another outlet for journalist to get the news out to the masses.

Below I have posted a link to a Web site that helps find the podcasts you are looking for, enjoy!

Photoshop

When I first learned how to use Photoshop in high school my instructor told me that it can do so much, the creators don't even know what it is capable of. And that is so the truth. Not only can you manipulate pictures, you can basically create one out of thin air or restore something that has been lost. I have enjoyed what I have learned about photoshop in EME thus far. I never knew that there was a button for making grass and another for making sky. I have also learned a lot more about layers which is what make Photoshop so special. Overall I would encourage everyone to learn Photoshop and spend a couple hours playing with it. Now I just wish the creators would make it a little less expensive.

Here's an example of something I never knew Photoshop could do...make stickers!
