Hi, welcome back to my blog, I am Kristie and for my blog today, I show you guys some information which relates to the technology and education aspect as well as introduce my new podcast. The content of this podcast including the practical unit theory and examples to proof the point. To be more specific, there are four parts when it comes to the outline of my podcast. Firstly, indicating the brief as well as comparing the difference between the traditional education and the new trend in education which is using digital medias these days. Secondly, showing the explanation and giving examples for the key terms. Finally, it would be a part to summarize for the podcast.

To inform my podcast, I have read some researches which consist academic sources, journals, online articles to get enough information that relate to both sides of applying digital media in education such as plus points and limitations of this phenomenon. Besides, this knowledge can help me know more about the benefits and downsides of the increasing reliance on digital media not only inside the classroom but also outside the school campus. Therefore, after highlighting & defining the key meanings of unit concepts, I am possible to suggest some examples in order to understand what the podcast means easier. 

Moving to the factors which I used for my podcast, the music plays a vital role to get more attentions from the listeners. It does mean that the vibe of the podcast would not be up and down due to the fact that it could cause the boring easily when people only listen the reader convey all the information without any sounds to create the salient feature in my podcast. Thus, the soundtracks I chose here is “Stock ringtone ” and “Poker face ”, one for the opening and one to end the podcast. In details, these soundtracks are absolutely made sure that they would be under the licenses to copyright if I cannot create my own sounds. That why I chose the musical intro and outro with an appropriate Creative Commons license. Similarly, the photo, which I used for the podcast, is also allowed to download with the copyright license.

For doing this workshop, I have already been some challenges to finish it. The first thing would be finding the academic articles which contain all the information connecting to every aspect I mentioned in the podcast. Due to the fact that each source I read that show own different opinions from the authors so it made me confused to choose the right definitions for the meaning of the theory. Moreover, the subsequent challenge for me would be that I had to practice to pronounce the words, control my voice speech with the content of the podcast to make sure the time is enough 5 minutes. Therefore, it took me around 1 hour to record it and 2 more hours to edit the podcast to be more interesting with the soundtracks and background photo. Then, I posted it on podcast, checking it whether the podcast works or not and after all that stages are done, I embed the link here in this blog to share with you. I hope this podcast could help you guys get more the knowledge about the pros and cons of using digital media in education. Thank you for pay a visit for it.
