your experience with podcasting. Did you find it to be an educational activity?
Explain
I enjoyed working
on a small project of recording myself explaining the details of a certain
theory and then upload the audio file on line in the wits e portal.
I didn’t know of
such programme before, hence I was excited to find out about this programme. I have
I noticed that now of late after the lecture on podcast that actually online
learning courses present to me different forms of accessing knowledge. I
finally unstained that knowledge being in a form of audio/pofcast, text/pofcast
it is still knowledge, the difference is the form.
I also noticed
that the podcast have value in learning, I have noticed that when students
creates a podcast allows them to share learning experiences in different way
and platform. Podcasts have potency of providing students with a world-wide
audience that makes their learning interesting, meaningful and enhance
pedagogy. Teachers can use the podcasts to provide additional and revision
materials to their students, so that the students download and review at their
suitable time. Podcasts also are user friendly to learners with special needs,
since some learners can hear though can see. The inclusivity and flexibility
makes podcasting a valuable educational tool
