This week I recorded my first-ever podcast. Here it is:
I recorded the podcast using the built-in microphone in my Toshiba Portege laptop. I created an account with Soundcloud to "host" my recording, and then I used a little HTML coding to embed the podcast here.
The idea is to create a podcasted series of lessons to coincide with an AP or IB Economics class. I already have a website for the class with reading materials, exercise files for each lesson that I teach and a range of video tutorials, but a podcasted series would be a great addition to the stiff already on my Econ teaching site.
In this first episode, I introduce myself and the podcast series, and I also direct the listeners to my teaching site. I then define 'economics' drawing distinctions between 'microeconomics' and 'macroeconomics.' I go on to discuss the concept of scarcity, discussing how that concept relates to the study of economics and the costs we typically study in microeconomics, I conclude by outlining three types of costs: explicit, implicit and opportunity.
I will say this, making podcasts is certainly easier that making screencasted videos!
