Podcasting in Education– University of Minnesota- Office of Information Technology

Job’s talks about how, if you [student or teacher] can succeed in making a correct podcast, the listeners will learn from it in the best way.

"By the time students have produced a finished product, they have edited the script, the storyboard, the actual podcast itself—and, perhaps without even realizing it, have mastered the curriculum content in the process."

Be prepared to expand on research with the topic that your podcast is about.

Focus on the sound of the podcast, such as find a place with no background noises.

Us precaution when editing—timing of how long.

Job’s does an excellent way of summarizing what is the best way to make a podcast in a classroom go far with a lesson.

In our future classrooms, if we learn how to use podcasting, it can help the students greatly or who ever listens to the piece.

What is Podcasting? - It is the publishing of audio or video via the

Internet, designed to be downloaded and listened to on a portable mp3 player or any type, or on a personal computer. It saves time greatly.

McMinn summarizes how Campus Beat is a student magazine podcast in Hong Kong, who practice their English writing, speaking and listening skills to grow in a classroom.

“By extending the classroom, making it mobile, educators are able to increase the time students allocate to studying.”

Not all teachers have enough time to cover all of the materials in one lesson.

It’s the idea of creating a borderless classroom, so students can have access to lectures, review notes, and preparation for a test at any time.

Podcast can even teach a listener a different language.

McMinn let my eyes view that a student prepared magazine in podcasting has really help students over seas learn more and that by having podcast in a classroom, can help students prepare more and have more time to study.

This article that was written from the office of information technology mentions ideas of what teachers can do with a podcast, and some of the issues it can or may create.

“Tell them what you’re going to say, say it, and tell them what you said.”----when your creating your podcast.

An iPod is not needed to subscribe and listen to the podcasts.

Can record field trip tours of an activity that takes place.

It is involving a shift from the e-learning to m-learning. E-learning is electronic and M-learning is mobile.

This article does a great summary in letting the teacher know what the pros and cons of creating a podcast in a classroom can be and an example that teachers can take into consideration can be that to make podcasting a fun thing to listen to, with music at the beginning; something to grab the listeners attention.
