CREATING OUR OWN PODCASTS

As I see it , podcasts can  enhance our digital competence a great deal, but it is not easy , especially for us  non-native speakers of  English to have our voices recorded. We often feen unconfident, uneasy when doing that.
I think that unlike teachers, our students  are not so afraid of making mistakes and they  like experimenting with this new tool. To be honest, last year  I learned the basics about this program -audacity-but I´ve never tried this  with my students.One reason against this is that recording the students´ voices is not so easy as it seems and sometimes they can become disruptive on doing that. In addition, students  need to compare their recordings with the original ones to be aware of their mistakes.

MY  PODCAST
Here I want to recite  a very inspiring poem to me, especially  when I feel blue or in a gloomy state of mind.

Not Waving But Drowning by Stevie Smith

Nobody heard him, the dead man,

But still he lay moaning:

I was much further out than you thought

And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking

And now he's dead

It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,

They said.Oh, no no no, it was too cold always

(Still the dead one lay moaning)

I was much too far out all my life

And not waving but drowning.
