If you're coming to SF for APA, I invite you to my talk "Revenge of
the MP3 player: Podcasting for the Classroom." Or you can just go to
the site for my podcast series, "This Week in the History of
Psychology" (http://www.yorku.ca/christo/podcasts/ ). Ask yourself
whether I could have gotten those 27 historians of psychology to
physically parade through my classroom over the course of the term,
and whether it is valuable to have students hear what these folks have
to say directly from their own mouths, rather than simply having them
read the simplified, tenderized, homogenized accounts typically
provided by textbooks.
Hi Y'all,
I want to add my voice to those thanking Chris for the WONDERFUL History
of Psychology podcasts!! I had students in my course listen to the
podcasts and write reports. They also had to analyze whether and how
much the info presented matched/augmented their text and where it fit
into the schema of what they were learning.
Students loved them! One morning as I was walking across the parking
lot, I heard this faint voice becoming louder as a student was chasing
me across the lot. What was so urgent? She was literally bubbling with
enthusiasm and wanted to discuss the podcast she had listened to the
previous evening. Students loved them and, most importantly, learned a
great deal.
Follow the link provided by Chris or simply go to iTunes for download.
Chris, thanks again!
Linda
