Check out the above podcast, its one of the many reasons why anyone falls in love with Chemistry!
Podcasts are an amazing educational tool. They are digital media files, either audio or video, that provide an excellent additional learning resource for learning managers and students (Wikipedia, 2009). Just like the above podcast, there are many others available for educational as well as entertainment purposes.
Podcasts can be used as an additional resource for learning both inside and outside of the classroom. Unlike everyday school lessons, students can return to view podcasts as many times as they need as the information is stored online. This also enables a learning manager to refer students to a specific podcast or series of podcasts to compliment the work that is being taught in the classroom. Students could also be encouraged to search for other podcasts to view to further extend their knowledge, teaching them to be lifelong learners.

Hi Liisa
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great evaluation. I agree that Podcasts give Learning Managers a wonderful 'edge' that engages the learners and extends the teaching pedagogy in the classroom. Podcasts can be used in a debate scenario where students can hear two sides of a debate and then use their higher order thinking skills to draw conclusions and make recommendations.
Thanks.
