Module 5

This was the first Module that I found really easy to complete in a short space of time. I tend to use Youtube quite a bit in the classroom as I have found that it is a fantastic way to introduce new topics, reinforce content and stimulate discussions. The chn have shown me time and again that they can recall information provided by Youtube clips more easily than that provided by listening to me read modelled texts during LFTT lessons for example.The combination of visual and audio is a definite bonus when it comes to stimulating and challenging some of the chn in my class! I have also noted an improvement in note taking skills as the chn become more familiar with identifying relevant information about a topic. I can defintiely see the relevance of using Podcasting in a classroom, and found the examples provided really interesting. I particularly enjoyed the chn's interview with Andy Griffith.
