Podcasting and music technology take Lessons Beyond the Classroom

        I feel a strong confidence towards podcasting technology as the more utilitarian choice than the latter. Teachers can make it so Podcasting gives students a sense of responsibility. It can have students verbalize and communicate in a way where they are the instructor. They are can be in a place where they must and are probably more inclined to want know the content knowledge for the reasons:  It's with technology which is fun, I have to teach the class, I feel some pressure to sound knowledgeable In front of people,It's for school, I want to make a good impression on my peers. These are pressures similar to the ones we feel in the real world.

            Along with the wonderful knowledge of learning about recording programs like Audacity or Garageband and all the doors that can open for teachers and students, the students get to hear themselves! Students have probably never really heard themselves before, most people are surprised if they hear their messaging machine and respond with a " Is that what I sound like?". These kids are probably the same way, this would open their eyes, or rather their ears, to how they sound. They will be more interested about inflection, articulation, how their point is coming across etc, for the reason its themselves they are listening to. This generally will make people more interested and self conscious and aware.I think Podcasting is probably a little nerve wrecking for kids, but speaking fluently and in a manner where they are seemingly knowledgeable, confident, and content savvy to a certain extent about the topic is a crucial part of socializing and networking for their futures. This will help in relationship building, speech. Speaking well is a great social skill that help people gain confidence and opportunity. Podcasting and music savvy can help open many doors for students.
