Podcasting

Podcasting

Podcasting is a posting of an audio recording online that can be heard through a computer or downloaded to a mobile device. They can be used in classrooms to give directions, have the students explore technology and can be a form of assessment to see if students are completing their work. Here is a website that shows how teachers have used podcasts in the classroom. In the article, the teachers talk about what they have done with podcasts and how the students are enjoying about this type of learning. One teacher also made it possible in the classroom with fundraising for ipods to use this in the class. @http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/25/technology/techspecial2/25podcast.html

Here is a video showing a teacher how podcasts are made and used. The assignment is for the students to make a podcast of the phases of the moon. It also shows the students interest while working with technology and podcasting as they are able to explore. @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti3rw5NOyzo
