I want to talk about the recent form of technology we used virtually for class called Podomatic. Podomatic is a website that requires audio and/or visual. You can create your own podcasts and as a future educator you can do numerous fun activities with students. I viewed some samples and the students were reading their personalized summaries of Robert Munsch books.
My teacher Mr. Masciarelli had me create my own podcast and some ideas of mine that came to mind was to use this technological tool as a way to enhance communication skills for students. As society progresses in this technological era, there is going to be shifts in how many different forms of communication take place and we will use this within the classroom. For example, if we are doing presentations and for this specific assignment the students will be given the choice to either present in front of the classroom or create their own podcast to record and have the class view their podcast on Podomatic.
Podomatic additionally allows you to post a picture for your podcast to represent the subject at hand, create captions to explain the description and implement tags; that way the more people type in that key word (you used for a tag) the more chance they will have to view your podcast.
