Week 2 Podcasting

Mobile Learning is learning gone mobile. This type of learning can be used practically anywhere you have WIFI. Podcasting is an auto file that can be downloaded on any mobile device. The advantages of podcasting is that teachers can interact more with his or her classroom. Another advantage would be students do not have to buy a expensive tablet. Studies show that students are more likely to retain information they hear than information they read in a two week period. The disadvantage would be students that have a hearing disability would not be able to hear what the teacher is telling him or her to do. The current results that educators have used is a win, win. They say mobile learning will help reduce the screen time and brain dysfunction. I would begin to use a podcast by making sure I know how to use a podcast. Next, I would make sure what I wanted the lesson to be about. Last, I would make sure the students knew how to use the podcast.
