Podcasts

In LM in 2010 my group and I made a mini podcast as a part of our oral presentation. Our podcast was filmed at the beach and showed one of us using sand as an analogy for pedagogy. For our presentation we presented it in the form of a live television show. We used the podcast as though crossing live to Noosa Main Beach. I have been unable to source this podcast amongst my files, and unfortunately I haven't been able to contact former group members.

I found the experience challenging and exciting as we filmed the podcast and explored the best way to show it in our presentation. This same use of technology could be used to enhance learning within the classroom. Filming an experiment or experience at outside of the classroom for children to engage in can allow for experiences that would otherwise be unattainable within the school or class environment. Students could also create their own podcasts at school to show peers, parents, and the community their learning. 

As always, it is important to consider how these are viewed and displayed, as permission and private viewing are important for ensuring ethical, safe, and legal behaviour.
