PODCAST: A QUIRKY TAKE ON EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS

 #podcast #material design #media literacy

Lately, we have been assigned to create a podcast on ‘Improving the World’. ’60 Second Idea to Improve the World’ is normally a podcast series on BBC which people share their ideas about ways to improve the world. As part of the task, I’ve created my own 60 second podcast on green economy and sustainability named ‘We Can Save The Planet’.

Climate change has always been an area of interest for me, so coming up with this topic for my podcast was not so difficult. I wanted to create a creative and original script as possible so writing stage took some time. Recording my voice was fairly easy. After recording my voice, I’ve found a song called ‘Running Waters’ from the YouTube Audio Library (which is copyright free) and merged my voice record and the music with the audio editor program ‘Audacity’. At first, I was quite nervous about how to use the program but after watching some videos from YouTube on how to use the program I’ve created my podcast within minutes.

Students could use technology effectively for their education.

In the future, I would definitely give a podcast creation task to my students. Although it is an unconventional technique and I had my concerns before starting one, podcasts are much easier than I thought to create. With these kinds of funny tasks, students could improve their language skills as well as their media literacy skills.
