From the feedback provided on my first assignment, I have been encouraged to look into the history and background of podcasts. I did not know that the name podcast represents the acronym portable-on-demand broadcast. I think it is interesting to explore the possibilities that could happen in a classroom when using podcasts to document a series of episodes. I have never used software that has a timeline feature, such as podcasts do.
One possibility of using this timeline feature of the podcast would be to trace the progression of student knowledge on a topic as a unit of study progresses. It might also be interesting to use podcasts to monitor student reading progress. A student could use the timeline feature and record themselves reading aloud a book at their level. As the year progressed, the student could continue reading texts at their level and publishing them as podcasts. This could be an auditory documentation of the students' progress, which they could go back and listen to. I am going to continue to read about podcasts so that can learn more ways to take advantage of the timeline aspect of this software.
