MODULE 4


Podcasts & Vodcasts

I really don't get the big fuss about these online versions of cassette tapes and VHS.

We made videos of our presentations when I was at school - this is just the same - but now students can upload them onto You Tube for the whole world to see - WOW!
But - without getting too cynical

1) Having students do presentations and upload them to You Tube would save class time - and I could incorporate my usual peer assessment into the comment section of YouTube

2) Actually logging into YouTube and saving videos to favourites etc was a useful feature that I didn't know existed until now.

However, I really think the user interface of YouTube and iTunes needs some work - links and buttons and places to go are not immediately obvious. They just seem clunky. I've been using iTunes or a while for music etc but have never really got the 'feel' for it.

And my enjoyment of blogging is officially over - now it is just a chore - hence no pictures or other crap to decorate this post.
