Podcast can be for teachers as well as students. It was cool to see how the students really enjoyed making the clips on Dinosaurs. The students enjoyed listening to their voices on the recording. Podcast is really good for teachers. It allows them to record materials from a book instead of reading it aloud. Recording a podcast and editing of the podcast is a great tool, especially for languages learners to play with the mechanics of the language. Podcast is a great tool to use in the classroom setting because it gets the kids interested in what they are doing. It is another way of teaching to make things exciting.
The Education Pod-casting Network, helps connect teachers all over the world. Also "The Education Podcast Network is an effort to bring together into one place, the wide range of podcast programming that may be helpful to teachers looking for content to teach with and about, and to explore issues of teaching and learning in the 21st century." My question is why is podcast becoming so popular in this day in age? podcast was around for a while and it is just now starting to become more and more popular in the world. Podcast is world wide, so many more people have access to it.
In the video Pod-casting In the Classroom, Joe Dale talks about why podcasting is helpful and useful in the classroom. He starts off with talking about kids that were born after 1980. He calls them “Millenial”. He states how these kids have never experienced a world that didn’t have personal computers and other technology. He believes that since innovative technology is a part of the children life, podcast is a form of learning that they are familiar with, and that they can adapt to better. Students can record role plays in character while making their learning more memorable, while parents can see and hear what their children are doing in school. The parents can also help their children become familiar with the system.
I hope these assignments helped in your preparation for your podcast.
ReplyDeletekeep working on your writing. keep me posted on your work with the Writing Lab. Here are a few comments on this post:
"Podcast can be for teachers as well as students. It was cool to see how the students really enjoyed making the clips on Dinosaurs. The students enjoyed listening to their voices on the recording. Podcast is really good for teachers. It allows.." You are using podcast as a singular noun. It reads much better when you put "a" in front of the singular form, e.g. A podcast can be... I think it would be better to use the plural form since you are really talking about podcasts rather than a single podcast.
"My question is why is podcast becoming so popular in this day in age? " In this sentence I would substitute "podcasting" for podcast. You do not mean a single podcast. You mean the act of podcasting.
As I have said before, it is not the goal of this course to teach you how to write. But it is absolutely essential if you intend to be a teacher (and if you intend to pass EDM310)!
If the Writing Lab does not help, let me know and we will explore other options.
