Podcasting is a single technology in a variety of web technologies used in distance learning. In addition, podcasting can be used in many different ways of teaching. Therefore, there are many combinations, what about podcasting in education.
For example, consider a combination of teaching podcasting with students and teachers in focus groups and student presentations video logging. Or perhaps a course in face-to-face, in which students create a podcast project, which extends by rotating classroom sessions on several. This allows the students to the research and the exchange of perspectives to participate in course material.
The important point is that we do not limit themselves to a teaching model. This principle is particularly true if we can, with digital natives, which may catalyze new opportunities for working well with the content during the creative process.
Podcasting is a movement by which the general public could be part of the media. This is called the “democratization of media.”
Also, no podcasting push in the direction of co-learning in colleges and universities? Perhaps we could begin to see teachers and students to share, dialogue and more involved through this medium. The teachers are content experts, students specialize in digital culture. This is a place where we could have a creative relationship.
In addition, important questions before us, I think students of all ages can explore the tertiary sector, such as:
* The political issues that come into collision in space close to our classrooms
* The cultural understanding, must be understood that within our local and global
* The economic problems that the public areas of the world and not only local or regional impact
These issues are potential ground for 20, 30 or 50 years old when learners podcasters. Or even all podcast listeners years ago?
By creating podcasts, criticize their meaning and construction of new understanding, digital media is a combination of innovation, technology and empowerment, and these elements are generative. Let’s charge coupled new opportunities for a deeper learning with creativity and expression of understanding. effective communicators of the 21st Century, these skills for their professional success. Why not the need, resources and the possibility of critical projects, on which to develop audio-classes in higher education and training institutions?
In a future article we will see, such as podcasts other services in these districts also provided.
