PODCASTs...
This module was fun and a great learning experience. What stood out for me the most was that digital storytelling and podcasts are a great learning tool that allows for information to be shared, downloaded and listened to at any convenience i.e. driving, in bed, traveling and well most obviously in the classroom. The possibilities are also extensive allowing those who use digital storytelling to bring forth their creativity and imagination through music and the audio composition they create.
In the classroom and in particular with assessment I have since utilised podcasts as a way of assessing verbal skills and also a way of saving time. Allowing them to present a speech and presentation on a podcast as opposed to standing up in front of the entire room means that students can be themselves, releasing creative energy and ideas without the fear of humiliation or embarrassment by their peers.
Oral skills are an essential skill found in english.
The final thing that stood out was the fact that digital storytelling was almost like stories told on the radio. They're fun through their inclusion of music and a shift in tone. Podcasts are information in your pocket- if they were an apple product, I'd call them iPocket- allowing you to listen to talkback, lectures, meditation and well, virtually anything.
