Reflection #8:Learning in Hand Podcast #23: Collecting & Organizing Voice Memos

This week I checked back in with Tony Vincent and listened to his podcast on collecting and organizing voice memos. This episode was very similar to the last podcast I checked into on recording and posting podcasts via the iPod touch and in fact the steps in the process are very similar. The thing I liked about this was that keeping voice memos is less formal then making a podcast and doesn't require the user to set up an RSS feed or have pictures or video. It is just what it sounds, a voice memo.  These voice memos can be uploaded to iTunes and listened to on the work station by the teacher or other students but it has to be done either from the iPod or the exact workstation it was uploaded too. A simple solution to this problem is uploading the memo to Posterous just as we did in the podcast from the last reflection.  I feel that this could be a good tool for the teacher to use, especially if posterous is involved because the teacher can leave memos for the students to follow or serve as reminders for assignments without having to constantly do the reminding.  Once again, another unique concept and one I would like to look further into on my own.
