Digital image resizing and pod casting...
Again this week I was involved in tasks that were new to me and also those that I had previously undertaken......mainly due to the undertaking of the BLM course. The use of digital image resizing and also pod-casting were very new and I was able to see the benefits of using both. For me the use of digital image resizing would be of particular benefit in the classroom as students are enabled to add pictures accompanying class projects and communications in a much quicker and less space (kb) orientated manner. My new knowledge will also benefit me on a professional and personal level as I share pictures with friends and relatives privately on a regular basis. I chose to add a picture of my family on the boat. This particular photograph was downsized from 996 kb to 37.3 kb..........surprising for me.
The pod-casting was very new and, to a certain extent, uncomfortable for me. Recording myself talking to nobody in particular felt a little unusual. I could see this being very useful for Learning Managers as they convey particulars to all students, parents and other stakeholders regarding such tasks as homework and assessment details. From the students perspective, it could be useful in collaboratively engaging peers and Learning Managers in projects, delivery of information and learning experiences. It would be a very engaging tool for reflective purposes also, taking students away from the 'pen and paper' methods and immersing them in ICT use.
