Chapter 3
Jump to Comments
Chapter 3 discusses podcasts and vodcasts. A podcast is “a series of digital media files that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication.” A vodcast is a video podcast.
There are many podcasts online that can be used in the classroom or a teacher can create his/her own podcast. If the teacher uses a podcast made by someone else, students will get some variety in the lecture, since the voice is different.
Businesses can also use podcasts. Some may use podcasts as a form of advertising or a way to give information to consumers or employees on a website.
You can find many podcasts on iTunes, so check that out when you get a chance! 🙂

I agree that if the teacher does use a podcast of different speakers in the classroom the students will get a variety of different voices in the lecture. This will help keep them interested and engaged in the lesson.

Very nice job. I like how you mentioned that businesses can use podcasts for advertising or giving information. Maybe you can have students create there own business for a project and then have them create a podcast for that business. Just a thought.

Sounds great. If lecturer choose podcast of different speakers in the classroom the students will get a variety of different voices in the lecture and will be much more interested.
