Podcasting

Mobile Learning
Mobile Learning can be in the form of anything that is electronic and that is computer based, for example : cellphone, tablet, Mac Book and many more.

Podcast
Podcast allow students to listen to an audio file, it is easily downloaded by just about any internet source mobile device. These Podcast allow different variety of students learn by the listening techniques rather than the visual techniques. It is possible for a child to look at a screen for too long, so therefore it gives the child a break.

Advantages or Disadvantages

The advantages of having podcasting would be that you could allow a variety of learning in your classroom, when doing activities during rotations for example: I Pad, Podcasting, Computers. This would just be something different added to classroom do to the fact that majority of the students learn in a different way! This also gives the teacher the ability to learn what kind of learner her students are and what their struggles are. I would say the most difficult part about it is that some children may not comprehend as well as the other students, because they're not that type of learner. Also their might be times to when the Podcasting will not work properly, I say this because technology is never promised to work every single day.

Results

The results of Podcasting are very well due to the fact that students are capable of learning at their own pace. Not only can they listen to it at their own pace, but they are also able to take the Podcast anywhere they go no matter where they are at. The best part about it is that teacher are able to send the lesson plans home, and also giving them a better opportunity to have interaction.

How?
I would begin Podcasting by getting my things together, and figuring out what lessons I wanted to have the students take home. Also I would have certain rotations with my students depending on how many we had I would have a certain amount of students take the Pod cast home each day, and by the end of the week we would talk about what they heard on the Podcast, and possible have an assignment to make sure that they listened to their Podcast.

I am glad that we have this opportunity to come and learn something's in this class that we aren't aware of, I feel like this class will come in handy because their will be plenty of times that we will use the computer in our classroom and not know what to do! But their are so many things we can do with a computer that we don't know so that is where this class will in handy! Sit Back relax and get ready for the ride!

I am really excited about being in this class and hopefully finding out some awesome ways to the  computer for my class as  a teacher in the future!
