Podcasting: The High School Student’s Perspective It’s nice to miss class and catch up easily Having video & slides would be cool Podcasting is a great addition to the learning environment! I can go to my games and still hear the class Feedback Let some mistakes slip out Read the text-scripts since I learn best by reading Include viewpoints from other professors and speakers Not allowed to open college website in the office, but it was very convenient for me to listen to podcasts I hope all classes start using podcasts Students should do presentations over podcast

Podcasting: Disadvantages

PODCASTING Legal Issues

Student Work Students own their own copyright K-12 – Permission required from parents? To transfer copyright, assignment must be in writing As of now, there are no laws that state that permission of student’s work needs parent’s permission, But once again, Elizabeth Townsend, notes that this may occur in the near future. She stated in a paper that this was for not only the safety of the student but also for the profit that student could possibly gain from the podcast. Example: Music teacher and record a child’s work.  Clip art from Microsoft Office

Using Others’ Podcasts – No need to worry …  Clip art from Microsoft Office Watching in class Assigning for homework Sending students to a link

Using Others’ Podcasts – Be careful… Including a part in your own podcast Check content Including a part in your own podcast…If you are using part or all of someone else’s podcast, you may or may not have a problem especially if the podcast is copyrighted. ‘ Check the content… One teacher linked to another podcast site and overnight the podcast changed. The podcast was not appropriate for the students, and thankfully he caught it before he had the class listen. Check content ALWAYS.  Clip art from Microsoft Office
