Rhetorical Roots and Media Future:

How Podcasting Fits into the Computers and Writing Classroom

  

Overview

Welcome to “Rhetorical Roots and Media Future: How Podcasting Fits into the Computers and Writing Classroom," a multimodal project exploring podcasting as a part of a writing class. This text has two main components: a hypertextual webtext and a seven episode podcast series. I encourage you to listen to the podcasts and explore the webtext to experience the full article.

Podcast and Webtext Table of Contents

Each episode has the full transcript in the lyrics field of the MP3 file. If you do not know how to find the lyrics field of MP3 files, check out my instructions.

I do hope you check out the companion piece, also published in Kairos, where I discuss digital divide and technological literacy concerns with podcasts, provide a more detailed discussion of the podcast types, offer some possible podcast assignments, and provide a quick tip for teachers incorporating podcasting. The companion piece, “Podcasting in a Writing Class? Considering the Possibilities” is available at: http://kairos.technorhetoric.net/16.2/praxis/bowie.
