I tried to create a Podcast through both Gabcast and Yodio. I can't quite figure it out though. The only thing I have to record with only does wma formatting. Yodio won't allow a wma format to be uploaded, and Gabcast turned it into some sort of file that had to be downloaded and my computer did not even recognize it. It's rather annoying, but I am going to keep trying to figure out how to make it work properly. Both Gabcast and Yodio could be a lot easier to use. Perhaps if they had a thing on their website that you could record with instead of having to upload something from your phone or your computer. Like I said though, I will continue to try and make it work.
I like the idea of podcasting. It is a quick way to learn information from people. They are more entertaining than just reading something from somewhere. I think if teachers used podcasts to go along with their lessons, students could learn a lot more material. It is just rather difficult for me to figure out how to make them.
Here is the link to my "would be" Gabcast. I will still try and get it to work properly.

AJ, I never figured out Gabcast and the only real difficulty I had with Yodio was how to upload it to my blog. Although I have enjoyed listening to the podcasts, it wouldn't be a good learning tool for me. I prefer the up close and personal style of instruction over the technological means. I can imagine a usefulness to podcasting, but for me, I would use it only as a last resort.
ReplyDeleteNice to put a voice with the blog, lol.
I agree with you about it being an easy way to learn and a great to for both teachers and students. Your not alone as the only person to have trouble figuring these websites out, I had a hard time doing anything on them.
