The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom.
The clip talked about that the podcasting was helping the children use there creativity. It also helped them use a higher level of thinking. The podcast are so useful to help the student if they are sick. They can still listen to the lecture and not get so behind in there school work. Or if they didn't understand something they can listen to it again so that they may understand it a little more.
The clip also talked that the parents enjoy it because they can know what is being taught in the classroom. All of the staff was excited about the podcast and thought it was a great tool. That should be in all schools. Also that the podcast can help so many ways they child can take it with them on there ipod and be able to listen again so that if they have a question they can ask it the next day in class. Also if the family goes on a vacation then the child wouldn't get behind in the lectures or class work.
Over all I really think that these podcast are neat and really useful in the classroom. Because you are able to take it with you instead of trying to write down notes as a teacher talks. You are able to listen more and then go back and listen to it again. Podcast are the next best thing besides the book for students.
I haven't done any podcasting yet, I simply don't know what I would post. I don't really lecture that much so it wouldn't help with that. I am more likely to put my instructions on my blog so that my students can get them anywhere they have internet access. How would you incorporate podcasting into your classroom?
