I will be attending the ASPâ€šÃ„Ã´s Cosmos in the Classroom 2007.
The second half of the workshop will address copyright alternatives such as Creative Commons and ways to protect content using Appleâ€šÃ„Ã´s iTunes U, Blackboard, and WordPress. Tips on creating content that has a unique feel that people consistently attribute to the proper owners (even when material is â€šÃ„Ãºborrowedâ€šÃ„Ã¹) will also be discussed.
As part of this workshop, participants will create their own 1-minute podcasts and post them as protected online content.
In todayâ€šÃ„Ã´s dynamic classroom, studentsâ€šÃ„Ã´ learning is no longer confined to lecture content and the words within a (often out of date) textbook. Added to the instructional ingredients list are interactives, real research experiences, and ancillary content in the form of podcasts and videos. In this poster, we present a model for using podcasts to enrich student learning. We will address ways your students can seek their own answers by participating in questions shows with professions, and explore content beyond the scope of the normal classroom such as particle physics and relativity. Teacher tools will also be presented, including ways to use podcasts for evaluation by having students make their own shows by modeling online astronomy shows.
