The podcast assignment was a fun and challenging one at the same time. I succeeded to finish it in a very short time because of two reasons. One is because I chose to teach a lesson that I have taught hundreds of times to my students an the second one is because I have garageband, so it was really easy to combine the audio recording with my playing.
I did a few rehearsals of my lesson and also a few recordings. After I finished, I chose the best one, uploaded and published it.
My lesson is about recognizing the quality of the chords (major/minor.) I followed 4 simple steps to make it clear to my students.
1- Tell them what we are going to learn
2- Play examples of different chords
3- Let them know where to focus
4- Explained the theory and told them to practice.
Podcasting is a very effective method of teaching. It allows you to record your own voice unlike written messages such as emails, texts, or notes that cannot provide lively qualities. I believe by listening to a podcasts students will learn easier than via notes since they can listen to you and understand much more by an explaining voice than just imaginary images in their minds.
Take a listen at my podcast.... Thank you!
Hey Margin!
ReplyDeleteYour Podcast didn't show up for me for some reason but the idea of it sounds awesome! Podcasts are definitely a great tool for you as a music teacher because everyone can record different music on Podcasts and you can help explain different music knowledge for your audio learners! (Assuming many advanced music students are audio learners over visual learners). Good job!
Hi Brett,
DeleteThank you for taking you time to read my blog. I apologize for the inconvenience. I just had a chance to update my blog and I believe I fixed it. let me know if you can listen to it
HEY!
ReplyDeleteyeah, your podcast didnt work for me either. I agree with Bret that podcasts are a great tool for you as a music teacher. Unlike for me, as an Art teacher it would not be something I would run to as an assignment. Hope you can figure it out so I can take a listen.

DeleteHey Cristina,
DeleteI definitely understand you since art is very visual, podcasts would not help as much. Sorry for the inconvenience . I updated my blog so you can listen to it when you get a chance.
Hello professor Bigsby,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for the inconvenience. I succeeded to publish my podcast at the gallery page, but here I made a mistake. I thought that the blog included the embed button. I just updated my blog. You may listen to my podcast whenever you get a chance.
