Podcast: "As it Happens Daily"

The podcast I listened to was CBC’s “As It Happens Daily.” The podcast simply informs listeners on the latest global news.
Today, we have access to several different methods of education through technology, much like the course we are attending now. “As It Happens Daily” educates listeners through the technology that we have access to today, making education accessible right at our finger tips.
Many of the news stories told in this podcast are often tragic or life altering experiences. We’ve read several memoirs in this course relating to loss and uncertainty. I can’t help but think about those involved in these news stories and how much it will affect themselves, much like the authors writing the memoirs we read.
I would recommend this podcast to those who love to keep updated on the news, but may not have time to sit and watch the television or read the newspaper. I found it excellent for multi-tasking (In fact, I’m listening to it right now as I type this!) This podcast is great for someone who can listen in on the news while completing other tasks.

  1. I agree with you that in today's education there has become more and more technology used. These podcast are just the beginning of the future of education. Eventually school will become all online and complete through podcast, and online courses such as ours.
