One of my favourite podcasts is David Noble .

His podcast charters how he develops his podcasts and other educational technology.

His podcast is based around

  • Introducing podcasting to the classroom,
  • His experience learning the new tools,
  • Useful educational podcasts that he has reviewed
  • His projects/passions that he is currently involved in.

It takes the audience as a participant learner, and is very accessible, relevant, and educational. One of the benefits of this style is that there is no hierarchy. This can be a problem with the classroom model. At times it can feel like a top down approach. As a result this is very engaging method to learn. Whilst the listener is listening they feel like they are learning along side David. The show has high production values and through his Lappelle mic this is one of the crispest podcasts that I have listened to.

The podcast is very reflective and is almost like an audio learning log.

David has just finished making a podcast directory like David Warlick Educational Podcast Network (EPN) URL .This is a directory full of suitable and appropriate educational podcasts for pupils and there studies. Hopefully In the next couple of weeks I might have something contribute to this!!!
