Thing17

       I looked at a lot of drawing tools since I have to make a lot of diagrams for physics.  I found one called Sketchfu that is fun because it makes a movie out of the drawing showing it as it progresses.  I  made a  sample which I have included here.  I could use this for demonstrating problems and I could include the progression of the equations as the problem is worked out.  This was fun to do and I will probably use it in class.

itunes and podcasting

I have used itunes on my ipod for a while now so it  was not a problem.  The itunes store had a lot of podcasts that I would like to listen to.  I subscribed to some NPR podcasts and to one from the Onion.  I could see using podcasts in class when there is a science in the news event.  I probably would not use ipadio or my own podcasts because it would be easier to make instructions or hints using other webtools because I could include images.  I made a short podcast about my vacation in England.
