PODCAST REFLECTION!!!!!!

Concepts: I learned that a lot of firemen and police made huge sacrafices for the people in the twin towers, and hundreds lost their lives for it.
2. I learned that when a horrible event like 9/11 occurs that American people will reach out to one another to help in anyway they can.

Challenges:
One challenge that I had doing this podcast was that I did not save it correctly and it was not there the next day. Also, finding a partner to help me record.

Real World Application:
One thing that I could use in the real world is if anyone asks about 9/11 I can tell them because I know all the facts about this event.
