 * Explain**

1. Explain what an RSS feed is?

Rss stands for 'Rich Site Summary'. Rss feeds are bits of infomation from a website that reguarlly change. The info is than placed in an easy to see spot, e.g Desktop. Common examples of rss feeds are: Weather, tempuratures and finances like stocks.

2. How will podcasts affect the future of printed media like magazines, text books and newspapers?

I think podcasts and other digital media will change the future of printed media dramatically. Podcasts and other digital media are alot more time saving for busy people these days. Instead of going to the newsagent, buying the paper and sitting down to read it. People can now easily turn their phone on and get up to date with latest news just like that. I believe in the future printed media will be alot less common than it is now.

3. Red Hat: How would you feel about listening to podcasts instead of reading books?

I think podcasts have their advantages and disadvantages. They are good because they are easy to get and all you have to do is listen too them. The down side would be that young children would find it harder to learn to read.

4. White Hat: Give us the facts! What are the benefits of podcasting?(Include facts to back up your statements e.g. Will it save trees for paper? Will it reduce carbon emissions for example the ships that transport paper and the factorys that process it?

Podcasting is definitely becoming more common. By the end of 2011 more than 275 million people will own portable media devices. Podcasts are much more easy to access and distribute than printed media.

5. Black Hat: It’s time to be a skeptic! When would podcasting not work? Would podcasting support your current lifestyle? Are there people, towns, cities, businesses, schools that couldn't use podcasting? Surely not! Tell us why

As I said before podcasting would disadvantage young kids if all they listen to is podcasts. It would be much better if the kids could read along with the podcast. That way they would be able to learn to read and listen to the podcasts.

It would also be bad for people in isolated outback towns, who rely on sattelite internet. They already have to pay very high prices for slow internet. And if media completely convertered over to digital, these people would find it very hard to access.

6. Yellow Hat: What would be the benefits of having all media in podcasts? What are the positives? Media on podcasts would be good because people would be able to listen to the latest news where ever they go. It would also be alot easier to access, all you would have to do is turn your portable device on and go to the podcasts homepage.

7. Green Hat: Can you think of other ways on you could use podcasting or have media delivered to you in the future? (Yes and no are not answers!).

Podcasts on the latest in gaming news.

12/9 Media referrs to information you like to have. For example, local news, the latest music, sport, games. Can you think of other ways podcasting could be used in the future? - Mr Horwill

Eveluate. 3. While completing this unit. What do you think you did well? What do you think the class did well? What do you think the teacher did well? How could you have improved what you did, the class did, the teacher did?
 * 1. Join an existing Blog conversation (see Resources page) on podcasting or RSS feeds (Remember to be cyber safe by not publishing your real name, your address, birth date, where you live, school you go to or team you play for). ||

I really like the scoring format. It would be better if all the instructions were in the one place. It also makes it harder when the teacher is not here, but you had good reasons.
