Wilkes+Graduate+Student+(Clark,+2010)

Students were assigned the responsibility of investigating the use of Podcasting in education. The following information is provided by a graduate student in the course – Utilizing Emerging Technology to Improve Learning. In doing this lesson on podcasts I listened to about a dozen different podcasts just to hear the varied types and topics. Some were not very good in the quality or topic while others were excellent. In iTunes I went to the technology category and found several podcasts but I also went to some of my favorite technology websites and looked for RSS and podcast symbols and manually entered them in iTunes. So far I liked and subscribed to the following: Podcasts made by the students I found: A podcast made by an educator I found: "Finding Articles in the Wall Street Journal and Economist Magazine" by Lisa Weigard from Harrisburg Area Community College. This was about 8 minutes. It was an informational podcast that explained how to find articles. I found this one under iTunes U. I will use podcasts for my own knowledge and try to integrate some podcasts in my course. I also want to make a few podcasts that explains some ‘tricky’ programming code but I need to buy a microphone first.
