Week 6 Reflection

This week I had a project to create a podcast, at first this scared me. I think most people are intimidated by recording their voice and letting people hear it. Once you get over that fear, you come to realize it can be a great tool. After using Jing, to turn a power point into a video with voice I realized this is a great tool. It allows students review the lecture on their own time. They can download it to their IPods, smart phones and use it when they workout or before they go to sleep. I don’t want to be naïve and say every student will use it but it provides them with a new tool. It is like ITunes U but this specific to their course in grade school. I would like to integrate as a form of review, after reviewing for a test also include a podcast with the information. This would help students if they felt they needed extra help before the test.
