Hello Everyone,
This week’s session allowed us to expand
our digital knowledge using webcasting tools. The tool in particular that I
took a closer look at this week was podcasts. I used a podcast to reflect on my
own knowledge of digital citizenship. The new doors opened though the use of
webcasting tools has yet again, broadened my knowledge of the digital world.
As previously stated, my podcast reflected
on my own knowledge of digital citizenship. More specifically, I created a 60
second podcast to briefly discuss a certain aspect of digital citizenship,
copyrights. I used this podcast to build
upon what we had previously uncovered last week with respect to copyrights in
the digital world. Ironically, another task this week was to copyright our own
blogs, which fit in perfectly with my podcast.
I found creating a podcast to be a very
fascinating and rewarding experience. I have heard many podcasts over the years
but have never taken the time to actually make one myself. Even though the
podcast I created is very short in length, it gave me a great idea of what it
would be like to create a podcast of any size and frequency!

I can see podcasts becoming a part of
everyone’s learning experience in educational activities in the future. With
just a computer and a good microphone, teachers can record their lessons and
make them available to students and parents to listen to at home. This makes it
easier for students to study and gain a deeper understanding of the material
taught in class. Additionally, students can take part in the podcast world as
they can share what they have learned about a specific topic with other
classmates and receive feedback when applicable (Digital Literacy Classroom, 2013)

Relating back to my PLE, if I were to
categorize podcasts I would place it under a whole new category that combines
two already existing classes; those being “Collaborating and Socializing” and
“Creating”. The reason why I can see podcasts fitting under both of these
categories is because not only was I creating new information when developing
my podcast, but I have also created a resource that can be used to collaborate
with others online. Just like the many other podcasts that are out there on the
web, my podcast can be used as an interaction tool to spark ideas for others,
and allows for feedback through comments and critiques.

With this being one of the last weeks
to post a blog for this course, I though I better follow suit and share another
post from my Feedly reader about hockey! This post is about Nashville Predators
player, Shea Weber, and the NHL’s Norris Trophy. Every year around this time,
all hockey talk turns to who is going to make the playoffs, and who is going to
win what at the NHL Awards. This article
specifically is about the Norris Trophy; the NHL’s top defense player who
demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in that
position. Shea Weber has been a great defensemen this year, but analysts are
now scrutinizing who exactly should win this award. This article talks about the pros and cons of
giving this award to Shea Weber, and who the other candidates should be.
For those of you who would like to read
more about this story, visit the article, “Do not give Shea Weber the Norris this season.”
