The podcasting session was informative. What I was able to learn is that whatever I want to share, I have a forum with which I can spread the news. What I realize is that I never really understood how podcasting was done, and now I do. I would like a way to be able to record lessons or information for students to download onto their IPODs. I see all of my students with IPODs, so I know that they listen to them frequently, and I can take away any excuses for them not having access to information that is necessary for their learning. I also would love to have a weekly podcast where I can also provide information to parents as well. Podcasting seems so natural and such a wonderful extension to what I do in the classroom.
I realize that with technology comes training and learning how to use the tools and applications, but it also takes away the lack of availability of resources. With technology comes access to resources. It definitely takes away any excuses as to why information has not been or cannot be accessed. This is a wonderful result of technology. I love the fact that what my students and their parents use on a daily basis can be used to provide all the information that parents and students need at the touch of a button. One thing is for sure, most of my students have access to computers at home. Even if they don’t, they have access at school during the day. This really hones in on the fact that there are very limited places in the world today that don’t provide access to a computer for its multiple uses.
I am going to use voice thread for podcasting, but I wonder is there any other type of podcatcher that I can use, or what else is out there for me to use so that I have the ability to record consistently and post the information or download it for student and parent use?
