February 7th Assignment




I chose to read the posts on podcasting at http://langwitches.org . The first post
“It’s Not About the Tools. It’s About the Skills.” was a very enlightening post. It’s crazy
how we always challenge what we don’t understand. If a parent isn’t familiar with computer
lessons, and just see it as a waste of time, then it is our jobs to explain to them what the lesson is
teaching the student, so that they can understand that their child is being taught important skills. This post gave a lot of information on how to use podcasting in teaching and how to explain to parents the reason behind the use of technology . I enjoyed the “Flat Stanley Project” The podcasts the first graders did was great, I think that the kids’ podcasts were better then mine. They picked out an area to visit, researched it, and made up a tale about their adventures. The digital storytelling post and podcast was interesting The post “Producing a Podcast “ gave details on how to produce your own podcast. I agreed with her post about reflection. It is always important to reflect on projects that have been completed, to think about what the project taught you. The picture to the left was created and shared by langwitches blog.
