Week Eight

This week we learned how to make a podcast. I found it much easier to make the podcast on our own versus with our groups. Doing it on my own seemed to run much smoother since the majority of the podcast I was able to do with one recording session. This made it easier because not much editing was required. I feel that using a podcast in my area of concentration would be a little hard since both subjects, math and science, are very visual. I could however incorporate podcasts into the classroom if I wanted to make daily announcements or reminders for the students to be able to refer back to. This weeks assignment followed a few standards. I was able to design and develop a digital age learning experience. Using a podcast is a good way to incorporate digital learning however I feel that it is not the most effective way to teach young kids. This assignment could also facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. If the student were to make their own podcast they would be able to learn a new tool and at the same time be creative with choosing a topic for their podcasts.
