“Technology Advances Education” by Jennifer Jefferson discusses incorporating Podcasts into the curriculum. This article was written at Florida State University. The Center for Teaching is looking at ways to integrate technology into the education by conducting workshops with employees. They looked at the benefits of multimedia and Facebook.com in these workshops. The article stated that some students do not feel there is a need for textbooks.
After reading this article, I also agree with the idea of incorporating Podcasts into our education. Teachers send out PowerPoint slides after or before a lecture, so that students can study the slides or follow along in class with the slides as their notes. Podcasts could be an effective way to ensure learning is reaching the student outside the classroom. The statement that textbooks are not needed anymore I also agree with. I have bought numerous textbooks for classes and never even had to open them. I feel as technology becomes more and more advanced and people learn to use it effectively the use of textbooks with start to diminish.
