Publisher's Synopsis
In a world where content is increasingly required for just-in-time learning, and knowledge is essentially needed only on demand, podcasting and screencasting find themselves extremely conducive for learning. They also offer innovative and creative ways of providing education to students, with episodic use and production allowing for the development of a broad range of essential life skills as well as the practice of key second-language skills. This is particularly poignant for the teaching of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) as a means of meeting the immediate needs of students through such models as targeted instruction, flipping of the classroom, and formative assessment. The pedagogical possibilities offered by podcasting and screencasting are included, along with the steps involved in planning, producing, and publishing them. Following this is an overview of instructional strategies, tutorials, photocopiable handouts and templates, evaluation techniques, and a comprehensive list of a wide variety of resources.
