The podcast discusses the benefits and limitations of using digital media for student learning and engagement. The advantages include increased engagement and motivation, student-centered approaches, active learning through digital artifacts, and a sense of purpose. However, limitations such as the need for teacher training, equitable access to technology, student privacy, and the lack of evidence for long-term impact must be acknowledged. Overall, using digital media requires addressing these issues and being wise in its use. Parents also play a role in limiting and supervising children's use of digital media. Hi, welcome to my podcast. I'm Najwa Marha Sabrina, student from Deakin, Kuwait, Jakarta. Today, I'm going to discuss topic about what benefits and limitations are involved in using digital media to facilitate student learning and engagement. Digital media encompass various forms of electronic media that utilize digital cutting systems. It primarily refers to content that is created, distributed, altered, and stored in digital format, allowing for easy replication and sharing. My experience using digital media facilitates for studying, particularly in high school, that students bring only their notebook, not their textbook. During each learning session, teachers will provide material through PowerPoint, videos, or animation. Students are free to take notes in their notebooks or digitally. During practice sessions, we were often given adaptive quizzing in the form of games, making the practice more enjoyable and less monotonous. The digital side and the media side create interactivity so digital media works like a feedback loop. The advantages of learning using digital media for me include a more enjoyable experience and easier understanding due to examples we can see directly from animation or videos. Benefits and limitations of using digital media to facilitate student learning and engagement. One of the major benefits of integrating digital media into classroom instruction is that it can help increase student engagement and motivation to learn when used to explore topics that students find personally interesting and relevant to their life. Digital media offers student-centered approaches that tap into student interests, interests, and identities. This sense of personal relevance has been shown to boost engagement and achievement outcomes. Digital tools also offer opportunities for active learning through the production and sharing of digital artifacts like videos, blogs, podcasts. Production media helps students develop deeper understanding as creators and sharing their work with an authentic audience provides a sense of purpose. However, certain limitations must also be acknowledged first. Simply introducing digital tools into the classroom doesn't guarantee change in teaching practice or student experience. The socio-cultural dynamic and institutional structure of the formal education system can serve to constrain technology use unless educators make a conscious effort to disrupt traditional hierarchy and power relationships. Second, equitable access to technology remains especially for low-income and rural students. Uneven access to devices and internet at home can exacerbate existing inequities. Third, teachers require intensive professional learning opportunities to feel comfortable integrating new digital tools and shifting to more student-centered pedagogy without proper training and support. Teachers tend to fall back on more traditional instructional methods. Another limitation is protecting student privacy and safety online. Educators need research and guidance on digital citizenship, cyberbullying prevention, and responsible sharing of student work publicly. Lastly, limited evidence exists on the long-term impact of the digital media use on real-world student outcomes. While engagement and self-skill may improve, it remains difficult to directly link technology integration to higher test scores, graduation rates, etc. Overall, harnessing the benefits of digital media for learning requires addressing issues of equitable access, teacher development, and redesigning traditional classroom dynamics and power structure. With careful planning and implementation, technology can help make learning more engaging and meaningful for students. The point is that learning using digital media has its own positive and negative side. However, I have experienced more of its positive side. Therefore, we must be wise in using this media. If the user are children under the age of majority, parents are expected to play an important role in limiting and supervising their children. That's it. Thank you for listening to my podcast. Bye.
