Workshop Three Blog

  • Reflect on how you could use “Podcasts” to distribute your lessons.
Podcasts would work to record lessons and distribute them for students who are absent, or just need a review of what was went over in class that day. It would need to be in video format so that the explanation of the problems would be visual as well as audio. I could see how this could be beneficial for new students who need to play catch up midyear and for ESOL students who need to have just that extra chance to see the lesson. I'm not quite sure how it would work or how much more helpful it would be in comparison to the amount of work it would be.
  • What do you expect are the students’ affective outcomes when the students use this form of technology to learn?
The outcomes of this would be more reinforcement of the lessons taught in class. It would be a huge benefit for our ESOL students who need time to process the English instructions. It would be helpful for students who have missed class. I think the podcasts would give students more confidence while doing their homework to be able to fall back on the video if they have a question.
