Blog Assignment #4

The benifits of podcasting in the class room

This video was interesting in the aspect that introducing new ideas into the class room can help with kids wanting to learn. That the podcast can be an essential part of any class room that would like a much more lively class. What I learn from this video is that podcast can even help with children that have been out sick from class for long periods of time. It also gives the parent the reassurance that their kids or participating in class and that they or learning. Even that the podcast can promote individual creativity and innovation, that encourages the students to get involved and continue to stay involved.

After reading the, listing – comprehension – podcast, I was very surprised that the third graders were able to experiment with the Hebrew language and actually tell a story using there techniques. Being a lover of music I found it extremely interesting that they were able to rearrange the voices and put them in different spots using the smart board. While looking at these pictures I was feeling the erg to somehow find me a smart board for myself. Once again this was not just an exercise to use the smart board, but opening an experience for the students to learn new skills. I learned that being able to work with you voice can help in a podcast. Helping with the diction and pronunciation with the words, making things clearer for the listener I understood how important this process is.

Podcasting with the first grade, my first expression was a shock that a class of first graders could accomplish such a fun task while staying on task. It was good to know that introducing new things to the class room can help bring out the confidence in many kids. I learn from this that in a podcast that you want to make sure that whoever is listing actually understands what you’re trying to do. That being able to present, comprehend, and have oral fluency is very important. Those three stuck out to me know that you want to keep the listeners attention.

  2. Hey Lamarsio,
    I really liked reading your post and hope that you won’t be too angry with me for critiquing it. I didn’t watch the podcasting video about the smart board and it was really interesting to go back and look at the article and listen to the audio clip of the kids speaking Hebrew.
    Some small tweaks to your blog will greatly help you to communicate to your readers the feelings you want to convey. First off, make sure that you place links to the information you are quoting in you blog so that others can find it. The internet is huge and it may be difficult for your readers to find the articles or videos you are quoting.
    So, there were several grammatical errors in your text and it really makes it hard to understand the point of your post. Watch for verb tense agreement. If it the action happened in the past, make sure the whole sentence occurs in the same time period. In your article about the Podcasting with the First Grade, I think you meant impression instead of “expression”. You need to proofread your post before publishing it. If it helps, type the post in Microsoft Word or another similar program and then read it backwards to make sure each sentence makes sense and that every paragraph conveys the subject you want it to.
    We all have room to improve, so don’t worry to much. I know you have the right attitude about it and I am sure you will make a great teacher.
    Your colleague

  3. Hi Lamarsio,

    I'm glad you learned some new things about podcasting! Podcasting is a great project for any age of students. There are so many ways that this could improve on students' reading comprehension if the students are reviewing a book.

    Don't forget to add links and pictures to every post on your blog. This is required for every post you do in edm310.

    Thanks,
    Stephen Akins
