Task

Now it is time to use your experiences and explorations of audio and podcasts and critically evaluate the affordances and constraints. Draw on your own assessment of the benefits of using audio and podcast for your own growth and learning, as well as that of your students. Use the ISTE 2016 Standards for Students as a lens to consider how you might be able to implement audio for learning and also for student demonstration learning.

Additionally, refer to the 6 guiding questions to asses the Affordances & Constraints:

1. What is the learning objective and how will this tool/app/resource allow us to reach it?
2. Will this tool/app/resource allow us to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and engagement?
3. What are the privacy and terms of service that may impact our use of this tool/app/resource?
4. What are the technological, costs and systems requirements?
5. Is there a steep learning curve in order to use this tool/app/resource?
6. How does this tool/app/resource enable us to achieve higher order thinking and sustainable practice, and ISTE 2016 Standards for Students?
