Module 4

I have been accessing podcasts for some time now, listening to them on my daily walks. 

Podcasts are a great way to enhance the learning environment of our students in the classroom- particularly during those sometimes long afternoon periods in class. Free downloads are a plus in many areas.

Vodcasts, as I understand,  are the video extension of podcasts.  Working in learning support these will be an asset, providing differentiation for students with varying disabilities.

iTunes is an extensive store, giving support to all areas of entertainment and learning.  Most students are already experts in this field and have shown me how to access most areas.

I have signed up for School Tube after viewing a few sights.  Great to enhance a lesson or provide a visual demonstration in the learning environment.  New Literacies for a New Age, while being very funny, provided an in depth reflection and timely reminder about changes in education today.
