What is in it? • Podcasts • Reflections on the project • Student contributions • Photos/videos • Colleagues interaction • Although it takes time and energy to maintain, the blog keeps everything in one place, and makes it accessible to anyone with internet access. • Let’s go on a tour!

  6. iHistory Podcast Project – Mobile Technology & Australian History What did the students think? Some short movies: 1. Aural Learning Excerpt 2. Mp3s & Learning Excerpt Quotes from their blogged comments: “I do think it’s good to use mp3s because you can listen individually without distraction…” David “…it is good because a teacher may tell you the information earlier but then when you are doing the work for it you can go back and check the information again” Laura “The mp3 were easy to operate and you got most of the information you needed” Daniel “I enjoy learning in this way I find it a lot easier to take things in and remember them…” Brianna “…it is a modern way of learning and should be used more frequently in other classes .” Jackson Dave Fagg http://ihistory.wordpress.com Eaglehawk SC
