As soon as I finished reading about podcasting, screencasting, and videocasting I thought to myself that these tools would be fantastic for visual and auditory learners in my class. I think it is amazing that there is the ability to record your voice and the students can hear it as you teach a lesson or introduce a topic etc. I also think that screencasting sounds like alot of fun because we usually do Reader's Theatre and I thought it would be fun for my students to create like a "movie" or they can screencast- They could practice their fluency, voice, and tonation. I Iike the idea that the students could see themselves on "screen" and they could watch their body language as well and as a teacher this could also be a useful tool as far as gaging who may be engages or who may not be engaged in your lesson/
Out of all the types of casting, I think the easiest one would be podcasting but screencasting I think my students would like the most. As I have said in my previous 7 posts, I just need the time to explore so that I can rally use this in my class!
This is great, just having information and feedback given to your students using your own voice is great. I think it would have more impact on the students. This too is one I could use in my class and I too need time.
