Day 6 Reading Payne-Smart (2008)
Payne Smart, M. (2008). Listening to Themselves: Podcasting Takes Lessons Beyond the Classroom: Student-produced podcasts bolster knowledge and communication skills. Edutopia. Retrieved from http://www.edutopia.org/podcasting-student-broadcasts on 31 July 2012.
This is an interesting article which does not only expound the fun and attraction of digitalizing learning (via podcasts as its example), but also the example of showing students that their work could be accessed by a worldwide audience. Mr. Coley’s mode of continual communication with his students via podcasts he makes, which students can listen to on their way to school or back, encourages learning that takes place outside of the classroom. I agree with the creator of the online Kidcast community that an important advantage of involving students in the publishing process of their progress and engaging students outside of the classroom is that these activities give the students a sense of purpose and direction, instead of viewing them as academic drills which should stay in the classroom and not bring with them to apply in their life outside of it.
