Podcasting

I learned that podcasting is used to convert files to MP3 and other digital devices to use for music. To use podcasting you would have to download it from a website and set it to your iTunes or any music soft wire you use. With podcasting being another web 2.0 tool to use on the internet, if you have any device that you can watch a video on it could work.  With almost all school upgrading their technology in the classroom it gives the teacher more ways to use in fun way to teach the lessons. Podcasting is something like youtube.com.

With technology being so competitive, creators have to be on their toes because someone is going to create the same thing but more creative.  Podcasting is a newer way to get everyone involved without being in a chair at school.  It is also a way for students to get what they missed in class, it is also a way for other teachers and even the students’ parents to know what we are doing in the classroom.  The similar Web 2.0 tool is created to communicate with your students better. The teacher use technology to keep the students attaching in class longer by using the newer generation devices.

I own both, an iPod and an MP3 device. I use both of my devices when I’m walking to class, when I’m working out, reading, at the barber shop waiting in line to receive a haircut, and working on long activities.  I would use an iPod and or an MP3 player in my classroom when the students are reading or when I need them to transition to the next activity. I like the way we can communicate with others by just being online.  It is a lot faster than meeting up with the teacher if you are having a problem on the homework.  My disadvantages would be with everyone getting used to communicating by internet only.   I’m a person, if I have a problem I need someone to sit down next to me and help me work it out.
