I’m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo.  It stands for National Podcast Post Month.  (November is National Podcast Post Month.)  The goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days.  This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro.

Teachers know a thing or two about containerizing.  My Mom is a retired high school English teacher.  She used to keep her supplies containerized. Like mother, like daughter.  I believe in containerizing too.  The modules in Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro are containerized.  There are 11 modules in total.  When I timed myself taking the course, it took about 2 hours to complete it.  I did my best to get right to the point.  I’m a very direct person, and I don’t like to bury the lede.  

I encourage students to make flash cards throughout my course. Instead of asking you to listen to a pronunciation and just say it back to the computer screen, I encourage you to write down the written pronunciation, practice saying it, and keep your flash cards in a container for review later.  You never know when you might need to refer to your flash cards again.  Plus, you can practice when it’s convenient for you.
