3. o The article “Podcasting in the
Classroom” written by Brian
Flanagan and Brendan Calandra
discussed the meaning of
podcasting and how it can be used
in education. In this article you
learn about Duke University
handing out 1,650 Apple iPods to
freshmen. Before they handed out
the iPods they preloaded them with
an orientation schedule, academic
calendar, athletic schedule , lyrics
to the fight song, advice from
other students , and information
from Duke administrators.

4. o This article also talks about how podcasting can benefit students
and the different ways this can happen. When talking about the
benefits there was one quote from the article that stuck out to
me. This quote stated, “Podcasting, therefore, may be a cost-
effective way to deliver instruction without compromising,
learning effectiveness.” It also talks about how to get and create
a podcast. It even shortly talks about vodcasting which is video
podcasting.

5.  To me this article had some very
interesting points. One of the
things that really stuck in my
head was a way to use the
podcast. It mentions how it can
be a quick, easy, and cheap way
for students to communicate
across the world. Also, when I
read about the ways the students
used them on their iPods I was
pretty excited. I have listened to
many podcast on my computer but
have never thought about
downloading them to my iPod. It
was also helpful for me that the
article had step by step
directions for creating a podcast.
Whenever there are instructions
for something it is always very
helpful to me.

6.  The article “Podcasting
Possibilities” written by Mimi
Leonard contained some very
good points. In the article the
author talked about some
important parts of podcasting.
It discussed that podcasting
can help students who are not
good with public speaking, but
students still need to be a good
public speaker because they
can’t depend on podcasting.

7.  This article talks about the positives of podcasting. When reading the
positives it actually gives you some ideas for ways to use it in your
classroom no matter what the age. The author states, “My younger
students would almost certainly respond enthusiastically to podcasting,
and the literature validates use of this instructional technology in a
variety of settings.” Then it goes on to mention the different ways many
teachers have used podcasting in the classrooms.

8.  With this article I found many
different ways I could use podcasting
in my classroom. One of my favorite
ways was being able to use different
clips from videos and being able to
add them into my lecture. Another
teacher even talked about how she
can send stuff to her students that
are in different parts of the world.
But this could even work with
students who are out of town or
maybe on a family trip so they will not
fall behind. I was glad this article
mentioned a few negatives to
podcasting, but it is still a very good
thing to know how to use.

9.  The article “Intersection of
training and podcasting in adult
Education” written by Ashok K.
Roy and Priya A. Roy. Both of
these authors work at
Universities and have had
hands on experience with
podcasting. One of the really
interesting things discussed in
this article is the cost of
podcasting. Podcasting can be
expensive but there are many
advantages to having access to
podcasting.

10.  In the article the quote, “Podcasting today is one of the newest trends on the
Internet” is a very accurate statement. College students all around the world are
using podcasting everyday. The article also states that according to Pew/Internet
study, more than 22 million American adults own iPods or MP3 players. Also, that
29% of those people have downloaded podcasts from the internet. This number
is going to rise in the future when more people learn about all the possibilities of
podcasting.

11.  To me this article was one of my
favorites because it talked
about the use of podcasting at
Indiana University. It talks
about how many professors at
all of the eight locations of the
university have been using
podcasting. My anatomy
professor podcasted his
classroom and I felt it really
helped me out. With this tool I
could go back and listen to it at
my computer to understand the
material better.

12. Podcasting is something that is going to grow over the next few
years. This graph from www.barefeetstudios.com shows how
much it has already grown from the years 2006 to 2008. I think
podcasting is something that will definitely be used in the future.
