Digitally recorded educational experiences
Veiwing the Podcast – Geo literacy Skills- it demonstrates the different ways you can document an educational experience by which students can access and can be used in further educational lessons. The ability for students to continuously visulise their learning is an important aspect for children to develop cognitively. The ability for children to reflect on their learning not only from their memory is a great way for children to enhance their knowledge and skills. This video- digitial story is a great way for a teacher to assess children on particular learning experiences as the teacher is presented with the new views and ideas created by the learning experience. The need for teachers to introduce the use of technology- especially digital stories is vital in the need for students to think beyond the one experiences which will inevitably enhance the knowledge and skills of a child- the true meaning to education!!!

Recently reading the blog ‘Sheridan School Showcase’ i have began to understand the true positives of education learned through technology and the use of e-learning within the school. This blog has been set up as a way for the teacher to provide feedback about their classes learning experiences by which all involved can access and view. I think this is such a great idea because students can visulise their work on the internet a place where all their achievement can be celebrated. The ability for all involved to access this information allows children to feel validated and introduces them to new ways of thinking. The ability for the teacher to introduce podcasts – reading their poems they have written – adds another step to the lesson and gives children a real reason for these literacy skills. When children know they are going to be watched not only by the teacher in the classroom but by others all over the world at any time, allows children to understand the true importance of all their education and provides and reflection on their abilities within their contextual environment. I think this blog is a fabulous idea and i will certainly be using it in my further teaching.

Recently watching the video of channel ten news discussing the ability for children to post their poems on the internet. The ability for children to do so, provides constant motivation and allows teachers to praise student achievement. Within the context of English, students are able to recognise the importance of the strands within this subject. Allow students to use such softwares as podcasts gets the students to both use their knowledge of English and learn new skills such as podcasting and recording videos. I believe that as a teacher incorporating IT into the classroom in new and interesting ways, will captivate students interests and allow all students to participate in computer work. Therefore the use of podcasts in the classroom is a great idea.
