Podcasts?
This week we learned about podcasts in class and honestly I was not impressed. Perhaps it's because I am not an auditory learner but I found podcasts boring to listen to and a pain to create. While I can see some benefits to using podcasts in the classroom, such as students synthesizing what they have learned into a short presentation or allowing students to share their ideas with the world, I feel that there are better, less time consuming ways to sharing their ideas.

How do you really feel?! It's because I kept messing up isn't it!? I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree with you! the "bang" is not worth the "bucks" that are needed to put many of them together. I do know that you can add images to make more of a video podcast that could be nice to add visuals to the audio message. I am thinking that this could help with the only auditory learning styles being hit.
