3. The article “Podcasting in the
o
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. This article also talks about how podcasting can benefit students
o
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.

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.

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.

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.
