Podcasting!

-
What an exciting week to have our first podcast come due. I was recently talking to a chef who contracted to come to our facility to set up our room service. He mentioned that he is part of a cook's podcasting series and talked about the ins and outs of having a weekly podcast. It was fascinating to hear about his anecdotes.


For my first podcast, I interviewed a colleague, Sarah, who is the Inpatient Clinical Nutrition Manager at my facility. We talked about how she integrates emerging technologies into her annual competencies to ensure everyone is on the same page with the technology in our facility.

On the other hand, one of the cons to hosting a wiki for adult learning, from my own personal experience, is creating the Wiki template itself. The functionality of the wiki template is not the same as a personal webpage - you cannot manipulate the content to have an item or text box placed wherever...

  As we have explored different technologies throughout the course, we now have experience in building a wiki, creating a podcast and finally, in blogging. There are a number of benefits to incorporating these tools into the learning environment for adult learners; it offers a convenient option to share and receive information, it is mobile device friendly allowing students to easily access information on the go, and when used correctly, can provide the most up to date information available. Luna and Cullen (2011) specifically discuss podcasts, and how integrating this into lesson plans can bring positive learning environments to adult learners. Specifically, “in early stages of review, podcasting … has been examined from student perceptions of utility, use, and receptiveness of the technology application. Student response to the use of podcasting has shown positive perceptions” (Luna & Cullen, 2011, p. 40). A group of medical students and Harvard Extension School studen...
