Blog Assignment #4

Why podcast? How do we do a podcast?

I never used podcast before, but after watching some of the videos and reading a little bit about podcast, I really have to find out more about podcast because this is a great way for students to learn. A podcast is a "radio style" talk show. It may include music as well. Podcast is very easy to use and it does not cost that much money. Podcast my be listen to on the computer, mp3 player, or you could even download it from itunes or any podcast hosting service. Podcasting allows information to be shared with millions of people around the world. All you need is a microphone, a computer, and a software and you can share any information with anyone.
Podcast have information about any subject, so all teachers can succeed from using podcast in there classroom. Teachers can record lectures and play it back for student to listen to it as a review, that way if a student happens to be absence for any reason, they could listen to what they missed in class for that day on podcast. Podcast also promote creativity and innovation. Podcast is a very fun way for student to learn and get involved in the classroom. There is so much more that can be done with using podcast but I just listed a few. I would advised all teachers or any students who are planning to becoming a teacher in the future to learn more about podcast and use it in their classroom.

  1. You said "I never used podcast before, but after watching some of the videos and reading a little bit about podcast's, I really have to find out more about podcast's because this is a great way for students to learn." I felt the exact same way. I have never used or made a podcast, but it was very interesting to see all the ways in which podcast's can be useful in a classroom. I thought you did a great job describing what a podcast was and also describing how they can be useful in the classroom. The only thing I could give you advice on is to next time include which resources/links you found the most helpful in your post. For example, if you read Landwitches "Podcasting with 1st Grade," be specific and write that in your post so other people know where you came up with your conclusion. Other than that, this was a really good and detailed post!

  2. "I never used podcast before, but after watching some of the videos and reading a little bit about podcast, I really have to find out more about podcast because this is a great way..." Podcast is singular. Podcasts is plural. The first use of podcast in this sentence needs a in front of podcast. The other two times you need the plural form so you need to change podcast to podcasts the second and third time you use the word. I am also interested in Katlyn's comment. She quotes you using the possessive form of the word podcast. Did you change your post after reading her comment. If so you should have just removed the apostrophe.

    "Podcast is very easy to use and it does not cost that much money." A podcast, not Podcast

    "Podcast my be listen to on the computer.." A podcast, not Podcast; may, not my; listened, not listen

    "Podcast have information about any subject, so all teachers can succeed from using podcast in there classroom." Podcasts, not podcast (Twice in this sentence.)

    "Teachers can record lectures and play it back for student to listen to it as a review, that way if a student happens to be absence for any reason, they could listen to what they missed in class for that day on podcast." Here is how this should be written: Teachers can record lectures and publish them as podcasts. Students can listen to them as a method of reviewing material and to hear class activities should they be absent from class.

    "Podcast also promote creativity and innovation. Podcast is a very..." Podcasts, not podcast (two instances). You also have to change is to are.

    "There is so much more that can be done with using podcast but I just listed a few. I would advised..." Omit using. Change podcast to podcasts. Change advised to advise.

    What parts of the assignment did you watch or listen to? You mention none in your post. You must always summarize the assignments.

    Unsatisfactory on two counts: content and writing.
