Consensus: Podcasting Has No 'Inherent' Pedagogic Value -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • "Podcasting does not contain any inherent value. It is only valuable inasmuch as it helps the instructor and students reach their educational goals, by facilitating thoughtful, engaging learning activities that are designed to work in support of those goals."

      You are on a job interview. You've been asked if and how you would use podcasting with your students. How would you respond?

      As a language teacher , I would highly be interested in using podcasting with my students. The point here comes to not only ask students to download certain podcasts to repeat words and have an all time accessable materials to improve pronunciation and study vocabs. The ability to link what students listen to on the podcasts with post activities to be performed in the classroom that help them even go beyond what that podcast has to offer, is one key to do that. So, using podcasting hould be highly planned and integrated in a way that serves our desired outcomes that will lead at the end to empower students to create or add podcasts that serve that as well.

      Inas-this is a wonderful example of extending the learning outside the classroom and then bringing it back into the classroom to reinforce and advance students' competencies. If you were on an interview, you might want to give a specific example. Could you think of one?

  • Handheld computers are a way to have a computer for each student. Some handhelds can be outfitted with an add-on keyboards for text entry, making them even more useful. Instead of taking up valuable time in the computer lab, handheld-using students can word process right at their desks, freeing the lab computers for more complex uses. Likewise, instead of using large, expensive computers to practice math facts, elementary students can cozy up in the corner of the classroom with a handheld and practice their multiplication tables. Handhelds tend to be simple to operate, allowing students to focus on their tasks, not the technology.

  • Powell’s experiment, however, demonstrates the current limitations of Abilene Christian’s mobile learning study. Because the experiment took place on such a small scale, the margins of error were sometimes as high as 13 points, making it impossible to render statistically significant findings.
  • Although the university plans to saturate the 4,000-student campus with iPhones and iPod Touches by the fourth year of the study (giving them out to each incoming class), even then it will be difficult to extract good data, said Perkins, the lead researcher. “We could do this study for 10 years, and then maybe we could talk about statistical significance,” he said. “That’s just simply a function of the sample size.” In order to generate data that would comment widely on the uses and effectiveness of mobile technology on campuses, Perkins added, the study would have to partner with other institutions.
  • Since not all the students could necessarily afford AT&T service plans for their iPhones, and U.S. tax law would not permit the university to subsidize service plans for its students, Abilene Christian offered students the alternative of an iPod Touch — a device that shares many of the iPhone’s functions, but requires a wireless network to support Web-surfing.

  • One major advantage of egocentric perspectives is that they enable participants' actional immersion and motivation more strongly than exocentric FORs, which are better suited for dispassionate observer roles.

      Can we say teaching through gaming is proving an egocentric FOR to course content?
    • Chenwen Hong

      I think teaching through gaming is proving an egocentric FOR to course content.
  • While the content of these games and activities often does not lead to knowledge useful in the real world, rich types of learning and identity formation do take place in these environments, fostering neomillennial learning styles based on characteristics of immersive mediated interaction.
    • Chenwen Hong

      Therefore, if we are to integrating gaming into the course, the content and activities then will have meanings and can be made useful in the real world.

      I have doubts on this "unfettered" virtual identity, which has been mentioned earlier in this article. If avatars are created in terms of how we defines identities in real world, how come those physical attributes will disappear?

      Is this not proved to be less efficient and result in less successul acedmic performances?
  • These virtual worlds are persistent social and material worlds, loosely structured by open-ended (fantasy) narratives, where players are largely free to do as they please—slay ogres, siege castles, barter goods in town, or shake the fruit out of trees

      While it is easy to confuse virtual life with real life, do we instructors play a role of teaching them to tell their differences as we are blending their real life into the virtual world in teaching? Or is there such a role?
