Podcast: Profiling Today's Students

It is no secret that children today have access to and utilize technology like never before. Because of this interaction, students enter our classrooms with a variety of new skills and expectations. To truly find out the extent to which my students’ lives involve technology, a sample of three students were interviewed. Using the technology theme, the results of the interviews were used to create a class profile, which was then documented through podcasting. Listento my profile at http://www.podcastmachine.com/podcasts/1464/episodes/6882

Since this was my first time creating a podcast, it took some time to get use to the programs and software being used. However, now that I feel comfortable with the process, I am aware of the great potential podcasting offers to education. If you want to try it yourself, I used Audacity to record the profile and PodcastMachine to publish it. Give it a try. I think you will like it!
