Podcasts or Blogs- Which is better?
Filed Under Blogging in and out of the Classroom, Computers In The Classroom
I’m a strong visual learner, and I prefer to “see” what I’m being told and not hear it- if you see what I mean. After listening to my podcast on relational aggression before I posted it , I found I was getting frustrated. I was fine for about the first five minutes . After that , I wanted to see what was being said- especially all that information that was in list form. I found I had a hard time concentrating on what I was listening to. Which was really weird because I wrote it.Yet, when I looked at the same information in my blog, I found it interesting. I liked the way it looked on the page. There was lots of white space for my eyes to rest on before I read the next part. I especially liked the lists because the information was quick and easy to access. I hated listening to the lists in my podcast. Maybe everyone hates listening to lists in a podcast! I liked the colourful graphic at the beginning of the blog. Maybe the best thing to do would be to listen to the script in my podcast while reading it at the same time in my blog. That way you would get the best of both worlds.
I really would like people who are auditory learners to tell me what makes a podcast a good listen. I know what makes something a good read. But, what is it that makes something a good “listen”? I’d like to improve my podcasts and would appreciate some hints.
