Hello everyone, for my Instructional Technologies class this week we listened to podcasts. I don't know about you, but I have heard the term before, but never knew exactly what they are. Turns out there are podcast for almost any topic I could think of. I googled podcast for educational technologies, and I was surprised at how many results popped up. The main podcasts that I decided to focus on was titled "#Ed. Tech Chat". I will embed the link: https://player.fm/series/edtech-chat-radio/a-quick-look-at-how-digital-learning-has-evolved
If you have the time, there are numerous resources in these podcasts. There was one that stood out to me titled " A Quick Look at How Digital Learning Has Evolved". They talk a lot about the excitement of learning. He also talks about how pedagogy and digital learning go extremely well together.
There is one more that I would like to add, which is about andragogy. He explains what andragogy is in a way that I have not heard before. He makes it easier to understand the term, and talks about the principles and myths of this topic.

This goes along with what we learned in Instructional Tech a couple of weeks ago.
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI was surprised about all the podcast options too. I'm not sure if your into science, but NPR has some really good information on their Science Friday podcasts. The information ranges from the human body to the environment. I have always only listened to them in my car, but now that I know they are available anytime I want, I will be utilizing them as a regular source of information.
The one you recommended sounds pretty interesting; I will have to give them a try. With so much information now available at our finger tips, its hard to decipher the good from the bad.

Hi Nicole, I apologize for not responding sooner, my family has had the flu. I am very interested in science, so thank you for the information. I will definitely look into them.
DeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeletePodcasts, I feel like they are just an improved version for the DVR of radio. I found some suggestions from the Podcast app on my iPhone. I did find something interesting to listen to on my way to work. I did not agree with everything I was listening to, but I did feel that my impression of the subject was broadened and considered more of the opinions expressed in the podcast. After listening to a person that had passion in their voice about the subject, instead of reading it in a post somewhere, made it more impressionable to me.

I couldn't' agreed with you more T.J. I find a real difference hearing the passion in someone's voice as opposed to reading information on paper.
