Podcasts

In this blog post assignment, I am to discuss the use of Podcasts and there use in the classroom. I tried several of the links for tips on how to use them in the classroom, but they didn’t work so I decided to brainstorm myself. The best idea I could come up with was peer-to-peer tutoring. Students are presented with written material which they have to convert to a podcast and share with their peers. I am sure there are many other classroom applications, but I feel like this would be a great starting point. I added my sample podcast below. 

As far as usability, it was incredibly easy to use. I settled with PodOmatic, but I could have easily used Soundcloud or Audioboo as they were are incredibly simple to use. I added my sample podcast below.

  1. I need you t tutor me on Podomatic! I found it the most difficult to use out of the three programs. Isn't it interesting how something easy for one person can be so difficult for another?!? =)

  2. You did a great job with Podomatic. I did not find it as easy to use as others. Your podcast was very informational and could be used easily in a classroom.

  3. Your podcast was very interesting! I believe that all three podcast programs could be easy to use, but I felt that some had a learning curve that made them harder for some users.
