Module Five:
Today I learned the difference between Podcast and Vodcast. Podcasts (personal on demand) do not rely on traditional media and no satellites are needed. The three main stages in preparing them are: recording, publishing and publicising. Vodcast is a form of podcast except the difference is that video, voices and images are included, hence the V for video.
The photostory three program is free and can be used K-12 for digital storytelling. The process for developing a photostory is clearly explained and I can see great opportunities for students of all ages to use this, particularly in literacy. It would be a very attractive opportunity for students who learn so very differently these days and can utilise technology for a broad range of purposes.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Cathy, recognising the potential of technology to cater for the learning styles of a wide range of students
ReplyDeleteCathy, I agree that the photostory program is an exciting program for students to use to tell stories. Next year I would like to integrate it into a narrative program. Students would thoroughly enjoy developing a digital story.
ReplyDeleteThere is an increasing amount of potential to integrate podcasts and vodcasts into the curriculum. Downloading stories onto an ipod touch for modelled reading is a new age version of the listening posts which were used when I was at school. How times have changed!
