Podcast Assignment:

 

Dan's Math Podcast

http://www.dansmath.com/pages/podpage.html

Video podcast or audio podcast? audio

Average length of podcast? average length appears to be about 25 minutes

Authors of podcast? Daniel Bach, a college professor and a man who has memorized about 100 digits of pi

Your purpose for choosing the podcast? Dan offers a wide variety of math stuff in his podcast. I enjoy his problem of the week and his joke of the week.

Any other comments you would like to include Can you believe that Dan and I both have pi pages?? Well, as soon as I finish my Fibonacci page, I'll have one up on Dan. Oh no! I just discovered that Dan has one of those also!! Rats! However, he does not have an animated GIF on his!

 

The Math Dude

http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/itv/mathdude/MD_Podcasts.shtm

Video podcast or audio podcast? video

Average length of podcast? about 6 to 7 minutes

Authors of podcast? The Math Dude = Mike DeGraba

Your purpose for choosing the podcast? This podcast is very useful for students. The Math Dude briefly explains short mathematical concepts with both audio and visual aids.

Any other comments you would like to include Mr. Tavani, you probably thought that you were the "Math Dude".

 

Maths in Motion

http://web.mac.com/simonjowett/iWeb/maths_podcast/Millthorpe_Maths/Millthorpe_Maths.html

Video podcast or audio podcast? video

Average length of podcast? times of each podcast are not listed, but the few that I watched were all less than ten minutes

Authors of podcast? not sure...possibly Millthorpe_Maths

Your purpose for choosing the podcast? I chose this podcast, in part, because it has age-appropriate mathematical content for the subjects I teach. I also chose this podcast because it is really hard to find math podcasts for middle school/high school students or about middle school/high school topics. Plus, there are several podcasts blocked at school.

Any other comments you would like to include One episode has a character named James "Mr. Smith" Bond. There is also an episode that ponders the question: Will Mr. Smith be hired or fired?
