Voice Recordings

Recording voice and putting on the Internet in a classroom setting may prove to be useful. For students, they can record their voice into PowerPoint slides, or Audacity, and post anywhere (blog, D2L, wiki page, etc.) for comments from peers or instructors.
For instructors, they can also record their voice into these programs for pronunciation comments or feedback without needing to be face to face in the office unless they had other questions. Not only this, but podcasting can prove useful if a student misses a lecture for a legitimate reason and you do not want to repeat everything you said, or perhaps miss an important point because you thought you said it already. So, podcasting can help teachers not only give students information for class, but ALSO for their own teaching reflections.
Reflections in teaching are a common occurrence in the College ESL program - observations by peers and director are common occurrances, and now we will be recording ourselves for review as part of our Practicum credit.
