Reflections of Podcasting, Blogging, and Vlogging
April 27, 2007
I have a two-fold reason for taking the podcasting class. First, I am required by the state for my licensing, and more importantly, second, I really want to add this not only in my class work, but for my school. My first introduction to podcasting was in St. George at the UACTE conference. It was interesting, but only enough to wet my appetite. It seems that a 45-50 minute class is not very effective. It did, however, spark an interest in perhaps doing something in my high school so kids could get announcements, assignments, etc. on their i-pods.
I was also concerned that even though the kids can do this, they are out there on their own because our district is blocking blog sites. With the announcement that UEN will be giving blogging sites on their web sites, this would be a great tool in my classroom. Now, I just needed to figure out how to use it. Hence, this class.
The class has given me the ability to take these concepts back to my school and teach them to my students and my colleagues. I have already talked to other teachers about taking these UEN classes with me, unfortunately, it takes a substitute and principal approval. My principal has decided that one teacher can take the class and teach the other teachers.
This class has helped me to be a better and more informed teacher, and more importantly given me insights into what many of my “my space” students already are doing.
