This week's module concerns podcasting and its uses in the field of education. The articles used two examples to explain the succes sof podcasting in the classroom. One example highlighted Duke University and its use of ipods and podcasting to relay intregalabout the university. The second article listed an example of a student being injured and being able to stay current in school because of the podcast listed by her teachers. Podcasts are "audio files that can be played on the computer or downloaded to MP3 players." The premise is that podcast can be used a accessible informations that students can receive all the time and use that information to further reseach topic using other internet tools.
I can use podcasting in public relations to keep my publics current about the actions of my company. I can post a podcast every week and give the breaking news about my company. Then reporters would be able to access the information and pursue further information by contacting me. I podcast would be an easy way to keep current information accessible to a large group of people.
I cose this video because it shows a way podcasting can be used for an educational purpose. This youtube video is about a podcast that covers different exbithits around the world, and wants to entice people to subscribe so they can learn about the world for their own home. I chose this because I thought it showed another unique way podcasting was being used for education.
