I made these podcasts as a recourse for students or a companion lecture to a topic I could be discussing or lecturing about in class. I chose to do a topic that might not be too important to talk about in a class lecture but still important for students to know.
- What did you learn about Pod casting (or whatever technology you learned)?I have never used or listened to a podcast before. I didn't even really know what a podcast was. So everything I learned about pod casting was totally new to me. I learned that I could record my voice and put it online for people. I learned that I could subscribe to other podcasts and receive updates. I learned that I could provide podcasts to my students and use it as a great teaching recourse. I had never heard of audioboo and I learned that that website is a great recourse to record podcasts. I learned that I could record pod casts on my computer but also on other devices such as i phones, i pods, and other portable devices. I think it's awesome that people can subscribe to users and search for tons of different topics to listen to. I didn't know that there were so many podcasts that deal with teaching and learning. I also learned that this could be a great recourse for teaching.
- What instructional problems could you use this technology for? If there is a blind student in our class this could be a great recourse (along with others) that would allow the student to stay caught up on material and still learn the same material the other students are learning. This could also be a great way to keep students up to date weekly or daily on topics or assignments, and as a reminder for homework and tests.
- What are 2-3 activities you could use this technology for in your own teaching? Being a health teacher, I would love to share weekly or daily health tips I find interesting with my students that I might not teach them about in class or test them on. Also I would like my students to subscribe to my podcasts so they could listen to updates on my podcasts. I could update them on changes to the syllabus, lectures and tell them any announcements I might have. If I forgot to mention some material in class this is important I could teach it to them in podcasts. It is a great supplement to classroom teaching.
Good job! You created very professional-seeming, informational podcasts. There are two things that I need to point out to you:
ReplyDelete1. The first question, "what did you learn about Podcasting?" has not been answered. We are looking for specific things that you learned about Podcasting, but you answer is very general ("everything I learned was new to me"). This is a very important question, as reflection is paramount to any kind of learning.
2. This has no affect on your grade, but I want to point out that this would be a very poor recourse for deaf students, because deaf students cannot hear, and therefore would not be able to listen to the podcast. Blind students, however, cannot see, and therefore would benefit from being able to listen to their homework.
If you edit your blog post to include a more detailed response to the first question, I can adjust your grade in gradebook as long as you email me and let me know once you have done that (adelheid dot elizabeth at gmail).
Thanks!
