the 21st Century education program. It helps teachers and students
to be in contact continually no matter where they are. The only important thing
is to have access to any device that allows them to connect online.
There are different ways to create a Podcast. One way that a
lot of people use to see tutorials and instructional videos is to go to YouTube
and search “How to create a Podcast”. Immediately many videos appear that help
you to understand how to create a podcast. I researched some of them but
unfortunately not one of these videos were complete or had full information to
help novice people that are trying to use this kind of technology. For example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4rz0jSXvG8&feature=related this video was created for an English man,
who was speaking so fast and moving the mouse so quickly that it was impossible
stay on track with his instructions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4IBSseAJlk&feature=related this man has been working for many years in PodCasting.
At the beginning, the video is very interesting because he gave a lot of advice
on how to produce podcasting but not an easy way to make a PodCast for people
with no prior knowledge
I checked some others videos but none help beginners to
create a podcast. It is possible that a good PodCast is not created yet to help
people to create PodCast.
To create my own Podcast, I followed the instructions exactly
that Professor Bigsby sent in the weekly assignment for week #5. It really was
very fun to make, even though I had some little problems embedding it in to the
Blogger.
In my opinion the strengths to create a Podcast and use this
tool with the students, is to help them to be updated on everything that occurs
in class. For example, if the student gets sick and has to miss class, the
teacher can help the student by sending him a podcast with a recap of the
activities that were done in class. Another goo activity according to the
article that I read, is to create a PodCast with the students to share with the
community.
The weakness of this technology, if it is not organized
enough, it that won’t be understandable and all the work to create it will be a
waste of time.
waste of time.
Second, to be connected with this type of technology, it requires
at least a basic computer. It could create an uncomfortable situation between
students who have a computer and do not. If not everybody has access to the
technology at home, it will be difficult to create a good connection this way.
