This week we learned about podcasting. We started out by watching a video to learn about what exactly a podcast was and how they can be made. I did not really know much about podcasts before so this was a really good video for me to see and a great introduction. Then we went on itunes and explored educational podcasts. I found some a couple interesting podcasts on math topics.
We then learned we were going to get to create our own podcasts, that could possibly be used in an educational setting. Before starting we learned about garageband, the application where we were going to create our podcasts. At first I was unsure about all of this because I thought it was going to be really complicated. After our tutorial in class I felt a lot more comfortable about making a podcast. The only thing I was a little unsure about was actually recording my voice. I did not get to that part on this project yet, but I will get to that part eventually. I'm sure it won't be as bad as I am thinking it will be.
I don't know if podcasts will be a big part of my classroom. I don't know if I will really have time to make podcasts for my students. I don't think I would ever have my students make podcasts, especially because I hope to teach young students and I don't feel that I would use this resource at that age. I would really have to look to find podcasts that fit into my lessons and make sure I really like it before using it in my future classroom.
