As of late, technology is infused in every aspect
of our lives and education is no exception. I think that podcasts have a secure
future in education. Once we, as educators, understand how simple they are then
things will really take off. Personally, I thought podcasts would require a lot
of rigmarole and equipment or programs but all I needed was content and some
place to put it. Now, the possibilities are limitless.
This week’s article discussed podcasts as
supplemental classroom material. I can record stories, give instructions, and
practice phonics. The podcasts can be utilized by students in the classroom. More
so, I anticipate parents utilizing the podcasts. Oftentimes, parents have some
misgivings when working at home with their child. One difficulty I always had
was my son’s complaining that I was doing it wrong. I can still hear him saying,
“Mr. Bridges doesn’t do it that way!” Instructions via podcasts would be so
helpful and would eliminate parents from having to deal with that same battle.
I’m excited at all of the prospective ways in
which to use podcasts to help my students academically. By embracing
technology, we are empowering ourselves and our students at the same time.
