Educational podcasting can be a creative way to capture learners' imagination and make learning exciting. It can also be an effective way of presenting instructional materials and providing resources in an audio format,
called podcasts or in an audio-visual format called video podcasts. This emerging technology provides a way of
sharing and transmitting audio for teaching and learning in schools and at home.
to record, produce and publish on the Internet. One can upload a lesson
with images that change at predetermined times when the podcast is played and
hyper links to websites. You can also easily move to different chapters in the
podcast, a feature used extensively in audio books.
This week I used a number of pocasts sites to learn more.
Access these sites and learn more
using SMART Boards in the classroom at http://pdtogo.com/smart/
I subscribed to Inside Higher Ed
at http://www.insidehighered.com/audio
and was fascinated and at the same time surprised by the debate on teaching
with technology on the Udacity
Project http://www.insidehighered.com/news/focus/teaching-and-learning.
I listened to Candace Thille, director of the Open Learning Initiative and
a leading advocate of intelligent teaching software, talk to Inside Higher Ed
tech reporter Steve Kolowich about massive open online courses, data, and about
how students learn.How can people oppose technology that is aimed at expanding access and lowering costs?
