Podcast, una herramienta útil
Ahora tenemos muchas herramientas multimedia que son de gran utilidad, una de ellas son los "podcast", pero ¿qué es un podcast?. Es un programa radial que tiene como ventaja que lo puedes escuchar en el momento que quieras, se encuentra publicado en la web de manera permanente.

La ventaja de estos "podcast" es que son una herramienta que nos ayuda a entrenar el oido tanto de nuestros hijos, como el de nosotros mismos. A veces nos cuesta trabajo escuchar, por muchas razones, porque nos distraemos, nuestra mente suele divagar, etc. Pero la ventaja con este tipo de programas es que podemos aprender a escuchar.

Ahora bien, existen muchos podcast que puedes escuchar de manera gratuita, tales como devocionales diarios, enseñanza, conferencia sobre ciencia, audiolibros, etc. también los hay en diferentes idiomas, así que si estamos enseñando otro idioma a nuestros hijos, es de gran utilidad que puedan escuchar cada día alguno de estos programas.

La ventaja de este tipo de archivos es que la mayoría vienen en formato mp3, así que pueden ser descargados en la computadora o una memoria portatil, de esta manera pueden eschucharlo en casa, en su tiempo devocional, antes de acostarse, etc.

Como son programas radiales, la gran mayoría se publican diariamente, es decir cada día es un tema nuevo, sólo basta con inscribirse.

Ventajas del uso de los podcast

Los niños aprenderán a escuchar y poner atención, durante un tiempo determinado, por lo tanto también aprenderán a concentrarse.

Dependiendo del tema, puede ser una herramienta para afirmar un conocimiento, o bien para aprender algo nuevo.

Ayuda en el entrenamiento de una lengua extranjera.

Una vez que hayan escuchado el podcast, pueden realizar un resumen, esto les enseñará a los niños a resumir y concretizar algun tema, así como incrementar su vocabulario.

Atascadero High curriculum: Reading, writing and podcasting

By Leah Etling
letling@thetribunenews.com

Atascadero High School students likely will be offered a new class next year — podcasting, the first of its kind in a county high school.

Podcasting is the production of video and audio segments for broadcast on the Internet. The movies or sound bites can be downloaded onto an iPod or other portable viewing device, or watched on a computer.

Podcasts have fueled the popularity of Internet sites such as YouTube, where people post their videos for the world to watch.

Atascadero computer science teacher Gary Bissell came up with the idea for the class, which is scheduled to be approved by the Atascadero school board at its meeting Tuesday. Bissell attended a county education seminar that taught him how to podcast.

A commuter from San Luis Obispo to Atascadero, Bissell said that he was soon downloading podcasts to listen to on his drive, including segments from National Public Radio programs "This American Life" and "Car Talk."

He’s also preparing for a summer trip to South America with podcast lessons from the program "Coffee Break Spanish."

"It’s like listening to a radio broadcast on your own time," said Bissell, who has taught at Atascadero High for 22 years.

In the course of his career, Bissell has overseen the development of the high school’s technology program from Apple 2 Plus computers to today’s lab, which is furnished with the equipment and programs students will need to podcast.

Atascadero High already has classes that teach Web site production, computer networking and repair.

Podcasting students will start with audio segments of several minutes and later move into video during the semester-long class, which will be limited to 25 students.

They’ll develop a variety of skills while working with new technology.

"Public speaking is involved, audio editing, script writing, organization and presentation," Bissell said. "They’ll be introducing background sounds like they do on NPR sometimes, to make it a little bit more exciting, and using background music, too."

After the students create their podcasts, they will upload them to the school’s Web site for downloading by the general public.

Bissell has several ideas that he wants to suggest to the class, including an interview with the oldest person in their family, tutorials on how to repair or construct something, and a video of their favorite hobby.

Some students, of course, will already have the skills. That’s been a major change Bissell has noticed in his two decades of working with kids and computers.

"We used to offer basic classes in keyboarding and that sort of thing. We don’t offer those anymore because the basics aren’t necessary. They’ve been using computers all their lives," Bissell said.

Los iPods en el Estado de Fresno.

iPods join educational toolkit at Fresno State


As spring semester classes start today (Jan. 17) at California State University, Fresno, the letter “i” is coming to life.

That’s “i” as in iPod.

With students increasingly expecting a campus to accommodate digital lifestyles and individual learning needs, Fresno State faculty are providing easily accessible education that moves directly from their computers to their iPods or other audio player.

Fresno State and a handful of other California State University campuses are using podcasting to make educational materials more accessible.

A podcast is a media file that is distributed by subscription over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on iPods and similar mobile devices and personal computers.

“Basically this is learning on the go for students like me,” said Wes Crockett, a Fresno State junior majoring in business.

A podcast’s content can be anything conveyed by an audio or video file. Instructors create a podcast of daily assignments and lectures from class, then make it available for their students. Students can likewise create and send material to their professors or other students.

For the future, the CSU system is working with Apple to use iTunes U, a full-time free service for more than just music. iTunes U provides access to educational content such as lectures, interviews, campus news and class notes regardless of where a student is.

JoLynne Blake, one of Fresno State’s podcasting coordinators, said, “This is the next step in technology for our campus. Ultimately, this advancement will help in the teaching, learning, and research of our students by expanding ways they can learn.”

Student-athlete Taylor Siebert takes advantage of podcasting while on the road with the women’s golf team.

“It was very simple to use and I would absolutely recommend it to other student-athletes as well as all other students,” said Siebert, a sophomore. “I found that it was not as effective as attending class, however, it was a much better option than having to completely miss class.”

Dr. Gerald McMenamin, a professor of linguistics, began podcasting in the fall, primarily in his lower-division, general education classes. The podcasts, along with digital pictures of in-class whiteboard work by students, were made available immediately after class on Blackboard, a higher education online learning system.

“I was motivated by Provost Echeverria’s urging that we do something to accommodate the difficult schedules of Fresno State athletes, especially their need to be away on class days,” McMenamin said. “However, in our student population, athletes are not alone in having nonacademic tugs on their time and attention.”

McMenamin noticed that another group of students that typically missed class a lot were young mothers. Students with identified learning challenges also are able to use the podcasts to listen a second time to material in classes they attended.

Overall, approximately 20 percent of his students used the podcasting at least once.

“Based on my students' use and reactions, I think it is very effective,” McMenamin said. “The podcasts and pictures give students who are away the feeling of being in the class. Sometimes the students in class even greet the absent ones, wish them well in their game, or they want their own picture taken with the work they did on the whiteboard.”

McMenamin allows his students to use a podcast and take a followup quiz up to five times a semester in lieu of class attendance.

“Podcasting makes both the teacher and student academically responsible,” he said. “It does not ignore the problem, and from my experience the student actually completes his/her work.”

Dr. Gary Reichard, executive vice chancellor and chief academic office at CSU, said the fact that both students and faculty are familiar with iPods greatly enhances the learning of podcasting technology.

“Walking across a CSU campus, it seems that every other student is listening to an iPod. That’s why this technology is such a natural fit to our campuses, and iTunes U represents a vehicle for learning and communication that students and professors have already embraced,” he said.

“This software and its applications complement CSU’s objective to continually adopt the latest technologies for enhancing learning on and off campus,” he said.
