Idaho History with Mr. Borjian

The Podcast I created is about Idaho history.  This episode deals with gold.  I broke the podcast up into four segments.  The first segment talks about the California gold rush and how it led to gold being discovered in Idaho.  The second segment is about how gold was first discovered in Idaho.  After that I talk about the largest mining towns that were in Idaho, which is followed by the tools that miners used.  It is meant to be a review of the gold unit so students can listen to it to help prepare for the social studies test on gold.

Flowers Blooming on the Air-episode 1

My new podcast series is "Flowers Blooming on the Air"!  It will touch on topics all about the floral industry and floral design.  This first episode is about "Flowers We Wear".  I discuss what flower choices are out there based on formality of the occasion, what type of corsage should we choose, flower colors and more.  Future podcasts in this series will cover topics such as cut flower care and handling, where do our flowers come from, what should I do with that bundle of flowers I bought at the grocery store and more.

Canvas Power User Podcast (Toorongian)

Canvas Power User Podcast - The target audience for this podcast is instructors and those associated with instruction, or others who use Canvas (the campus learning management system) for non-course based purposes such as training or accreditation.  Our campus is presently transitioning to Canvas, with a full cut over planned for May 2012 (this summer semester).  These podcast episodes will function as another resource for users to learn more about Canvas, and to stay connected with the latest information.  The podcasts will be relatively short, in an effort to maximize the user base of busy faculty, who might otherwise not commit the time to a longer format podcast.  Each episode will begin with an introduction, a short segment on the latest news and information on the Canvas transition process, a topical segment, a Canvas quick-tip segment, and closing remarks.

First Episode Description

Introducing Canvas, You’re New LMS- This first issue of the Canvas Power User podcast introduces the listener to the goals of the podcast and also gives them a short synopsis of LMS transition information.  Following the news segment, the main segment discusses the piloting phase of the recent LMS search process and the timeline that was followed, leading to the selection of Canvas as the next campus LMS.  Key features and tools of Canvas will be highlighted, with each being reviewed more fully in future podcast episodes. The final segment is the "Canvas Quick Tip" which highlights a key feature of the Canvas LMS (notification preferences in this episode).

Crazy Pancreas Podcast by Travis Thurston

The Crazy Pancreas Podcast was created to educate the general public about Type I Diabetes, share stories about living with diabetes from T1D parents & kids, sharing accomplishments related to T1D, and promoting the Crazy Pancreas 5k and other great T1D events in Utah & Idaho.

In Episode 1 the basics of T1D are presented, and Travis' wife Jenny joins him to explain signs and symptoms of T1D through the story of their own son being diagnosed.  The accomplishment in this episode comes from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation who is moving forward with clinical trials of the artificial pancreas. Finally, Travis announces plans for the 2nd Annual Crazy Pancreas 5k and related events.

News you can use

This podcast will provide quick tips for teaching journalism to students, and quick tips for students hoping to improve their craft.

Today's focus will be on story ideas, the use of jargon, and helping kids figure out how to write better.

The ideas included are easy to understand and easy to implement. It is important to provide extra information to journalism teachers throughout the country because they are often thrown into the role with no formal training. Easy, effective tips will make teaching this subject much easier.

Rob Straby's “Career Stories Project”

Welcome to “The Career Stories Project”, a Podcast series demonstrating engaging techniques to help clients share there stories and transform their careers!

In this series, I will be providing the listener with stories that are elicited as a part of career counselling sessions. There are three types of stories.

The first group of stories will provide examples of the types of things clients may share in their first meeting. This process typically starts with high school and follows their perceptions of their career path up to the present. This process enables counselors to learn what the client’s key motivations and needs are.

The second group of stories provides examples of specific vignettes from their life. These activities can come from any life role, such as work, education, and volunteering or family life. A key element is that these stories have the person as the key actor; the success and positive feelings of the event are due to actions they have taken. This enables us to hear the core-motivated skills a person has.

The third meeting involves helping the clients to name the skills clusters to enable them to effectively market themselves in their career transition. We also begin the process of developing summary descriptions of their career identity to support their career transition.

I am looking forward to creating this Podcast series!
