This is probably the most painless activity that we have done yet. That, or I am just getting better at using the computer and all of its technological gadgets.
The programs that we used to produce the podcast were actually very user friendly. This could be useful in my teaching for a cooperative learning activity. Students could be placed into groups where they could read, analyze, and discuss one lesson in the text. After all of the groups created the podcasts, then they could all share what they learned with the class. What I really like about this is that not only could they access this podcast at school, but they could also access it at home when they are studying for a test.
I could also record and publish important notes or lecture highlights so that students could access the information from home if they had a question regarding something that they read or did not take clear enough notes on.
This could also benefit special needs students who need repetition or are auditory learners. The possibilities are boundless.

I'm glad you found this Thing to be fairly user friendly. Being this is the first time that I've facilitated this course, I'm always anxious to hear how people will react to each thing.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about podcasting is that it is such a flexible tool and its use can be applied in a variety of ways as you have explored in your post, which is what I was hoping everyone would see by completing this Thing. It's just one of any tools that can enrich instruction.
