A podcast could be useful for as a teacher if you wanted to record a lesson for an absent student to listen to later. Also, could be used if you were going to be gone and needed to personally tell your class something. Outside of that podcasts are a wonderful way to find experts on certain subjects and then you could easily play that to your class or personally listen to it just to gain knowledge.
The best advice I would give to someone who is making a podcast is to be patient. Not only with the development of the podcast, because that was the easy part for me, but with getting it somewhere to share with others. If using a Mac it most likely will not be saved into a transferable file. So convert it to an mp4 to your iTunes and it is a lot easier to work with. I hope that this advice helps. Also, if you have never tried to make a podcast... give it a try... you might find it to be a very useful technology after a little exploration.
i liked your podcast. i like how the music in the background was soft enough for us to hear you and yet we could still hear it. i like your advice too because that is how i saved mine was switch it to itunes.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I was unable to listen to your podcast; however I did read what you wrote about it and figured I could at least comment on that. I too had the most trouble when it came to finding the correct format to save my podcast in order to upload it to my blog. I think I would agree with you when you said that the best advice would by patients. There were times that I had to walk away from my computer because I was going to lose my mind! Technology can be challenging, but in the end it can be a huge advantage! Thank you for sharing this information and I am sure your podcast sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about patience being key in creating a podcast. I have still not figured out how to get mine to post on my blog. :( Yours looks great though! I like the colors of your blog! :)
