Human Peformance Improvement and Podcasting


1.) I believe that when Kaufman defined Human Performance Improvement as a way for people to become successful through the help of other people. I knew his idea of learning information and teaching it is an open communication for the greater good of humanity achievements. This theory is able to be used in my day-to-day professional work as a guide to know the following:

A.) I am learning from the students,

B.) If the students are learning from the teacher and

C.) If the students are learning from each other.

This creates a universal learning experience for all the people by the help from the people. Students are more comfortable dealing with the social norms and if the culture in the classroom is to enter to learn and depart to serve, as a student you become obligated to encourage others to do the same.


2.) The podcast I subscribe to listen to using Windows version of ITunes profile name is TED Talks Education.  It is very good at providing new ideas and technology that can transform mediocre teachers into future leaders for every student can model. The link to the podcast is as followed:


3.) I think podcasting can provide other people with the same or similar experiences to the world of new ideas. It is very hard to be a professional teacher if you think you are the only teacher alive. In order to evolve as a teacher, coach, or student at some point you have to research, study, and reinvent the ideas that other people have demonstrated and valued in their works to the improvement of humanity. As a person, I don’t always know what is going on in the world around me, but as a people I am able to learn from other people. Podcasting is necessary because it gives all people the freedom to learn, teach, and share information on demand.

  1. LaMarr, I appreciate the way you connect podcasting to learning as a social process. I love TED talks and could probably sit around all day and listen to them. But you are correct in saying that it allows you to go beyond your own singular world and explore other's worlds through commentary.
