Podcasting Reflections..

Our first school year in the Maze is coming to a close, and we wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on how it has changed the way we learn. We have seen our students really benefit from the use of podcasts as an additional review tool. What have they told us? First, they like the ability to listen at times convenient to their schedule, and as frequently as they need to understand or remember the information. They also have found the podcasts to be extremely helpful at the end of the semester or year as a review of the material for the entire course. Students who are absent also benefit as they have something to listen to in addition to getting missing notes and assignments. Lastly, our students with reading difficulty and auditory learners have told us how helpful the podcasts have been. They have confidence and feel that they CAN do it for the first time EVER for some!

We would love to get your feedback on the use of podcasts in general this year. Please share your thoughts and comments!
