Podcast

This week we learned about Podcasting, and how it can enrich your academic life. I was previously aware of podcasting, but had only ever considered its function as a source of entertainment used for when you are otherwise occupied and can't watch the screen of your phone.  However, I have explored some tools today, and found that simple websites like RecordMP3 and Sound Cloud can be very effective/efficient ways of teaching and learning about given topics in a timely manner. Using podcast or screen casting (showing short clips of your screen), provides you as a digital citizen with interactive tutorials- screen casting for the people who need to see what to do in order to learn, and podcasting for those who like to listen. I often listen to sermons through podcasts, and my mother listens to book reviews. Conversely, my friend who is very hands-on, likes to see exactly what needs to be done in computer programs, and so prefers to watch screen casts. Such tools can also be effectively used in presentations of material and understanding how to use them effectively can enhance your teaching style for class requirements and even for legitimate teaching positions.Like any other content however, when you share your work on social media, it is important to properly license it to protect your work. A creative commons license can do this. Here is mine!
Until next time,
