observations

In observing parents interacting with their kids I have noticed two different catagories. The first is parents who have the kids do stuff for themselves. The other is when the parents are working for the kids.

I was in the store and saw a family and the girl wanted to get a drink (she was probably 4 or 5), the mom told her it was ok for her to walk over to the cooler and get one, but she had to get water or juice. The girl came back with a coke and the mom said that she said in a quite tone of voice that she had to take it back and get water, juice, or nothing.

Compare that to a parent that has no control over there kids. Again in the store this kid was screaming his head off running away from the parent. The parent was threatening and yelling at the kid to behave. This obviously had no affect seeing as how when i left the store 30 min later you could still hear both her and the kid, and they were in the back of the store. It seems that quite confidence is much better over "brute force." I also imagine that it started a long time before with both groups and the parent taught the kid how to treat them, one with respect the other without.

Podcast Time

My experience with podcasting has been interesting to say the least. I knew what a podcast was before hand, a friend of mine had one which I was actually on, but I had never been involved beyond speaking into a microphone. Editing with audactity was a nice easy thing to do. I have done some audio editing before, but that was in Adobe Audition, and it was difficult because audacity simplified it to the point where I had to relearn what I was doing.

I also could not add music to mine. I tried to rip some generic music for the back ground, but when I tried to add it through audacity it said it wouldn't allow windows media type, but that was all that I could rip it into. Very frustrating indeed.

Uploading it was difficult as well. I could not get it to work on following the directions set up by the teacher, because it would not let me upload into our class resources. After digging around I found that I could do the same thing by uploading it to my workspace through oncourse, then following the steps of linking the URL.

Without further ado, enjoy: Podcast.

Step 1 completed

Ok, I finished looking around at what the blog can do, and filled out my profile. This site is pretty straight forward so it isn't that hard for someone with no experience in blogging to be able to create one painlessly. As for the assignment My name is Jeremy Gray and I am taking W200 like all of you reading this. I am going for my secondary education degree, and live right here in Indianapolis (so i didn't have to travel very far for our orientation on saturday). I am computer literate but have never made a blog, wiki, or any other type of social networking so it should be an interesting class.

Here is the link to my wiki and I am going to try and find a way to have the link hanging out on one of the sidebars.
