PODCAST AND VODCAST

Podcast and vodcast are very similar, podcast is an audio file made available for download to a portable device or personal computer whereas vodcast consists of video recordings instead of solely audio. Using podcast and vodcast in education has an effect because students and teachers can both use it and benefit from it. Podcast can be used as a tool to reinforce areas of curriculum such as reading and writing, by using it can help children’s communication by listening to themselves and looking at the assets and the flaws of the podcast. They both allow educators such as teachers to reach students using a medium they are accustomed to. In today’s society students are very digital natives, even young children have spent time online reading, playing games or even looking up information and communicating with friends.
