Incredible World of Podcast


 In my previous posts I was talking about the usage of  blogs within the classrooms, also I shared my opinion about   digital  children. I realized that this year we are going to get familiar with lots of technical developments which can be used in the 21st century educational system. Today`s  my post is mainly connected with podcast. I remember when last year Dr, Madyarov told as to download iTunes and listen to different podcast episodes I was so confused. It was so unfamiliar and strange for all of us. But of course during time we were used to that. Last year we simple listened to podcasts and posted them in our blogs but this year the situation is completely different. That was great  now we had our own episodes I have never thought about that before. Now I can imagine how my students will be enthusiastic using all that kind of technological things during classes. In one of the articles I read that podcast influenced effectively on students listening skills also on their oral proficiency. Of course, firstly it would be challenging to use podcast because of technological issues as many students might not be familiar with it.  But this should not stop future teachers to use them. Students can listen to podcast not only by computers but using their mobile phones, Mp3 players or iPods. The main advantage of podcast is that students can listen to them on the go simultaneously doing other things.  According to Christopher Shamburg kids become consumers and creators of digital media, podcasting can  help kids  to  do interesting projects and create real life activities. In conclusion I would say that  podcasts  are really great. I am going to use them during my classes. I think students will be glad to share their ideas about what they listened to.
