Week 4: Podcast

I am unable to post pictures or video to my blog. I do not know why at this stage as it was all going so well. I have provided a link to an interesting podcast by Richard Dawkins. He is a world famous evolutionary biologist with a particular interest in how religion can be a part of intelligent peoples ideas, that is, "how can humans so passionately believe in something that is simply the imaginings of somebody else".
A podcast is not interactive and as such has value in its content delivery. Well chosen podcasts can have a valuble contribution to learning. Its simple, incorporate quality, peer reviewed podcasts in lessons and you will catter for ICTs, there is realy nothing more to it. Be conscious of how students respond to the podcast and modify your choices based on their comments.

Here is a link to an interesting podcast:
