Podcast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrQoyUXEqkI

I know this podcast will not appeal to everyone, as it is a podcast about how to refashion a beaded necklace into a headband. However, being that it is a podcast, and that it was useful, I still wanted to share with you why:

  • Demonstrations of what she instructed 
  • Laid out all materials/points necessary and up front. 
  • Kept dialogue short. 
  • Music was upbeat. 
  • Tone of voice was upbeat. 
  • Kept reinforcing the simplicity of the project. 
  • Appealed to our senses. 
In terms of cognitive load, she did not overload us with information. She did one thing at a time- appealing to our sight or auditory senses separate times. In doing this, it was successful because she got her point across quicker and more efficiently.

... One of these days I will stop using bullet points or number points!

    I agree that she kept it very concise and did not drag along the steps. I found it helpful that the set was so clean so I wasn't visually distracted by "what was on the wall" but rather what she was doing and saying. I barely heard the music which was good so I wasn't distracted but felt she could have projected her voice a bit more!

    I like the podcast that you chose because it is very clear and it doesn't overwhelm with extraneous material - it is right to the point! It is definitely a good one because you want to keep watching it even if you're not going to remake a bead necklace.

    I also love crafty podcasts!!
    I really appreciated the way you described the podcast (THE BULLETS!)
    You made it apply to the task in your explanation
