PODCASTING!!
This week we looked at Podcasts. Mrs Jonah Greene came in as a resource person to inform us on what a podcast was and how we can create our own podcast. I learned that a podcast is the creation and sharing of amateur radio. Mrs Greene also referred to podcasts as Personal On Demand radio.
We were then directed on how to download audacity which is a software program needed to record your audio. However I had already done so. Mrs Greene then had us work in groups to create our very own podcast. It was really interesting to find out how easy it was to create my own recording.
A Podcast is a great tool that teachers can use within their classrooms. Teachers can use a podcast to record students individual readings and assess these readings over a period of time to measure improvements.Teachers can also utilize podcasts in their lessons for an exciting introduction.Teachers can record a story or poem for the lesson introduction or just an attention grabber.
Podcasting is so easy that even the students can create their own recordings.
Student can use a podcast to make audio journals to reflect on lessons. They can also use a podcast in subjects like Science and Social Studies to record information for project observations or to make documentaries or advertisement to raise awareness of a topic or concept that they have learned that will be beneficial to the listeners.
Finally I must say I have come along way in this technology class and I am definitely going to be utilizing podcasts when I return to my classroom so that both my students and myself can benefit from it.
