For my first emerging technology we were asked to explore the world of podcasting. A Podcast is an audio file about anything you want it to be about. Podcasting allows anyone with a voice recorder to record anything they want and then post it to the web. It allows people to hear you instead of read what you have to say. I believe it makes things feel a little more personal.
In my podcast below I gave some useful tips on how podcasting is useful in the classroom. One personal way I can see it begin useful in the real world is for people who is blind. I have two aunts who have been blind since childhood. They both have a system on their computer that read websites, papers ect. to them but with a podcast they could get the real effect out of what the author/podcaster is saying and it doesn't sound like a robot.
I've used similar recording devices when I was in high school in the Television Broadcasting class, so audacity wasn't hard to use. I believe the program is very user-friendly and easy to work.
Here is the link to my very own, very first podcast: https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/shrfleen/Shauna_Podcast_Module4.mp3. The subject of my podcast is about using podcast in the classroom and another technology called Skype. I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions on how to use audacity feel free to post a comment on my blog and I'll get back to you.
Your cast was great and short. Did you use a script? Most of the casts I listen to are more informal, but you did get all the information in there! Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips on podcasting. I like the organization used within your podcast.
ReplyDeleteThank you both! I did write everything and use a script to make sure I didn't forget anything I wanted to share. I like to be organized :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your tips! I had some trouble with mine at first.. Unlike you, I had never had any type of experience with Podcasting before, unfortunately! I Wish I did...
ReplyDeleteI really like your page! It's so cute! :)
I can tell you used a script. Your post was very clear and I enjoyed what you had to say about how and where to use podcasting!
