What is your definition of Podcasting?
Podcasts are recorded audio files that are available for people to download and listen on their own computers/devices. Basically it is similar to a radio show available for downloading off the internet.
What is the difference between Podcasting and Vodcasting?
Vodcasts are a step above podcasts. They add video to the downloadable audio files.
According to what you have read and watched as a part of this session, what are some of the ways that podcasting can be beneficial for today's students?
Podcasts have many benefits for today's students. Students are able to share their work with a world-wide audience. By having a "real" audience, students are motivated to create meaningful products.
What are some ways that you may be able to integrate podcasting into your classroom?
Students can create mock radio shows reviewing key topics in class and even current events (i.e.: Quick tips for better writing, Everyday math explained).
About Me
- Mrs. Bond's Blog
- I believe the purpose of education is to give children the knowledge and experiences they need to succeed in life. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to motivate students to learn. I develop curriculum, based on the state standards, using real life experiences with an emphasis on multicultural learning. My lessons teach problem solving techniques and encourage students to learn through discovery and experimentation.
I like how you thought about the motivation that students have to put effort into the work that they are doing. I enjoyed your idea to do a mock radio show! How cool. I am sure that students would enjoy doing this, it would be a nice change.
