3. In the Beginning… there were lecturers and students Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. ( Bob Dylan 1964) Sage on the stage Empty vessels Theories Connectivism.. Blended Learning.. Learning styles... Authentic learning.. Theory of mobile learning.. Lifelong learning..

7. Students are open to educational podcasts - already listening to other podcasts Student podcasts- “Hey, it would be difficult”! Podcasting doesn’t replace face to face - complement or supplement Access and Cost - Bluetooth - Website Structure carefully to avoid bad attendance or non listening KISS Encourage to listen again and anticipation of next Some points to ponder.. Students liked that my voice was different !! like that it’s a real person
