Question #6:
The
iPOD is the Pioneer device for the fast-coming BroadBand Learning world:
Already it will play speeches, display text, and play Video, repeat Video,
(coming soon!) The 20MB iPOD 'charms' students into the CyberCentury using
Songs! Bringing along with it, Cyber Learning Tools such as a 20MB Hard
Drives, Firewire & USB connections, ability to store and play text
information, play 'podcasts' which are audio recording posted online, much
like a short radio show. The Real Fun and The beauty of a podcast is you
listen to it whenever you like. There are more than 7,000 podcasts 'on the
air' right now, on every conceivable topic. Anyone can make one with a
microphone, a sound-recording program, and the tutorials that have already
on the Web, including www.apple.com/podcasting.... Podcasts, in other
words, are the audio version of blogs. (macnewsworld).
Audio, Video, Music, or Text can be 'synced' (downloaded and organized) to
the iPOD U2. If the resources and training were provided by the
college, and given that the iPOD can Play Recorded Lectures, Display
Text, and Play videos, in what ways can you envision using these
features to extend and optimize teaching your
students? Write at least one paragraph explaining
exactly how you would use this technology to deliver instruction to your
students who had iPODS or similar devices. What would you put into
Text? What would you record on audio? What would you
make a video of? This is about 'brainstorming' how you would
make use of this technology if you had a grant!
