This week in class we began by discussing how videos can be used in the classroom because some people expressed that they didn't feel it was necessary. We viewed some online video channels of different music educators. The next thing we talked about were podcasts. Podcasts are video or audio from a specific group or person that others can subscribe to. We were then assigned a project to do an interview and make it a podcast on podomatic.
I think that podcasts are an avenue that can be used execute the idea that I presented in last week's blog post. Last week I expressed that it may be useful to make videos interviewing students about what they are learning so that their parents can view them. The best way to show them to parents is to have them subscribe to your podcast. This makes it easier for parents to see what is going on in their children's lives at school. This idea isn't limited to the music classroom. I do feel that it is most useful for the music classroom, though, because the credibility of music classes is questioned more often than that of other academic classes.
