Podcast




A podcast is a multimedia digital file made available on the Internet for downloading to a portable media player, computer, etc. A podcast is an easy way to appeal to audio learners which makes it an essential teaching tool. A podcast appeals to the attention of creativity, students will find creating their own podcast for a class assignment a fun and exciting exercise. A podcast posted on a teacher's blog gives students an easier way to get information outside of school hours. 
For Technology in Education, we created as a group, a podcast which spoke about a  the issues in education.    
We asked a few people, security guard, teacher and students, what they felt were missing from their classroom. Some said furniture, some said space, some just wished they had a room.
 A podcast could be used as a narrated story for comprehension. Another use for a podcast would be putting a topic to song or have the students create a song about a particular topic as an assignment.
