Podcast and Vidcast Reflection

What: Podcast and vidcasts are great ways to relate information and knowledge to students and others who want the information. It serves many different purposes, like allowing distant education students a better chance and opportunity for learning. Also, if students are absent, it gives them a cnahce to still see and learn from the lesson. They are great tools for teachers and students both.
So what: Podcasts and vidcasts are new to me within the last year or so. I have had college teachers, mostly education teachers, use them. It was so great because if I missed class, the podcast was availble to me and other students. They are something that are becoming more common but should become even more common because of the value they have. More teachers should take advantage of these great tools.
Now what: As a student who has been able to take advantage of podcasts and vidcasts, I would definitly use it in my classroom. It is just a great way to get all students involved, even the ones that missed class. It is also a fun tool that allows students to use technology. They are not difficult to do or use, therefore, I plan on using them in my classroom.
