I have played around a little with podcasts and vodcasts before this module but no means feel expert enough to create and upload one worth sharing at this time. I still have my Garage band L plates firmly attached.
The podcast links supplied were all easy to navigate and very informative and I will frequent the WA det site (www.det.wa.edu.au/education/cmis/eval/curriculum/ict/podcasts) & http://recap.ltd.uk/moodle for their extensive list of podcasts.
I see http://storynory.com as a great discovery & will be back to download stories for some of our students, especially those on the reading program and from ESL backgrounds. The broadcasts are clear and our students can only benefit from listening, a great way to introduce new vocab and correct pronounication.
Moving from here to itunes is territory I am at more comfortable with, I have created playlists from my itunes library for everything from 'walking tunes' to listen to as I exercise to a 'car music' list for this current trip to Canberra. I have also current subscriptions through itunes to a variety of sites such as ABC's 'enough rope ' with Andrew Denton, NASA & The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I just don't have enough time in each day to watch all I'd like. As our children gain greater access to the web, their exposure to sites such as itunes U will only enhance their learning experiences, especially those who learn through visual & auditory modes. My only disappointment is that podcasts sometimes disappear as their owners move on.
We have all used 'you tube' to search for information, but following the suggestion on web 2.0 I now have my own you tube' account where I will be able to search, rate, comment on & eventually upload videos......the one saving grace with creating this account....I could use my gmail email account!!
