Podcasting

I must admit that when I saw in the syllabus we would be talking about podcasting and creating a podcast I was not overly thrilled. I didn't really know much about it, but I didn't think it would be something I could use in my classroom. I was wrong!

After listening to a few podcasts and listening to an online presentation for my article review, I am really excited about the possibilities! I think it would be really neat to create a weekly podcast with my students for parents. It would be a review of what is happening in our classroom. I could have the kids talk about what we have learned, upcoming events and tests, etc. I think the students would really be excited about doing something like that. I could even envision expanding it to a school podcast. It could be like a newspaper, relating the current events to parents.

I also think it would be fun to incorporate podcasts into my literature classes. The kids could create book review podcasts, recommending their favorite books.
