And finally, I hope that what I present might offer something a bit different, and serve as a trigger for what I covered in class. Alternatively, it could be that what I say in the podcast encourages them to come to class because they feel compelled to challenge the notion of humans being classified as technology. Additionally, I am hoping that what I talk about serves as a way to draw students in and is interesting enough for them to want to come to class. My intent in using podcasts is not to address all of the content just one small part of it. You may say, well, why would students want to come to class if some of the class content is addressed in a podcast? Fair question. Keep in mind that the sample shared is addressed much more in-depth in class. What I just shared with you was a 2.5 minute snippet from my Technology and Society class where I was attempting to establish a starting point about what technology may or may not be. Here is an example of an emotional response podcast using the app Voice Record Pro (HD), Humans as Technology. I use podcasts to welcome students to my classes, to provide clarification on assignments or course content, and even to provoke emotional responses to something we are discussing in class. I use podcasts in a variety of ways and so could you. There should be some added value to what is shared in this new format.
