PODCAST: uma nova ferramenta no contexto educacional

Abstract

Technology has been presented in society since the most remote times, where its participation has added to development. All areas were influenced by such transformations and including education. Over the years, Brazil has gone through different moments that were permeated by emerging technologies. The present work directs the attention to a possible way of acting in the educational context, including educational technologies in the process. The possibility of using virtual learning environments and social media only adds value to the relationship between educator and student. Media such as Podcasts are defined as audio files available on the web for listening or automated downloading. The main objective of this work is to enable a better understanding of the possible performance of the Podcast resource and all its advantages in teaching.
