Podcasts are beneficial for education because it is a convenience to listen to educational lectures at anytime or any place. They are easily downloadable to almost all devices, making it much more convenient to to listen to on the go. The podcasts are also beneficial because you can pause and replay the recording to gain a better understanding of the information. Personally, I have been listening to educational podcasts for awhile now. I find it very easy to follow, take notes, and pause whenever I need. In a classroom, I hesitated to ask questions because I didn't want to hold up the class, but with podcasts, I have the ability to learn at my own speed.
I think it is interesting to look back at how technology is affecting people, especially those who are part of the generation "always on". There are pros and cons to everything that is created by man, because nothing is perfect. But I believe that the internet and everything it entails is part of the process for more growth and development in technology. If things are going to change because of how the new generations brains are wired, then so be it. The only thing to do is stay updated with the latest technology so that you can give yourself every chance to become successful in this world. I wasn't the biggest fan of social media use because I find more cons than good, but here I am writing this blog for a class to obtain my masters degree in Kinesiology. Change is not easy, but to be successful and achieve your goals it is important to keep an open mind throughout your career. There will always be something bigger and better than you. Will you adapt, have an open mind, and be a part of the change?
