The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom
By: Joe Dale
This was a very interesting video. It pointed out ways that podcasting can be helpful inside and outside the classroom. It provides a way for the students to interact and for students who are out of school to keep up with their school work. I think it is also amazing that it provides a way for parents to keep up with what is going on in the classroom. This would end the question,"Just what do you do at school?" Parents could get on the teachers blog and listen to the podcast to find out.
The process is very easy and the blog that this video is on also provides tutorials for creating a Podcast. Students can take their lessons with them everywhere they go. If a student is struggling with a particular lesson, they can just pull up the podcast for that lesson and listen to it over and over until they understand.
This is a great tool to use in the classroom. By doing our own Podcast in EDM 310, I can now use this valuable tool in my future classroom.
The Practical Principals
With: Melinda Miller and Scott Elias
This podcast was great. It provides a site for sources for educators. It is a place for teachers to gain insights and hear of other's experiences. It reminded me of a radio talk show, but it was actually something I was interested in hearing.
I learned from this sight that a podcast can be anything you want to make it. I like how this podcast was like a general conversation between two people. The conversation about their experiences helps you realize that other educators go through the same type of situations we do.
100 Ways to Use Your iPod to Learn and Study Better
I really liked this website. This blog posted many things that your iPod can be used for. I had no idea all these things were available. There are tutorials and help applications. You can have anything you need for your education right in front of you. Everyone should have a list like this at their disposal.
Leiha, it was helpful to know that there are websites for educators that provide resources and advice from others' experiences. I agree with you that podcasts are an excellent way to promote parent participation in their child's learning. I wish that podcast were available for college courses at USA, it would be so helpful for college students to get this additional resource that they may access at any time and that's completely free.
ReplyDeleteI also think that podcasting is a great way to get the parents involved in their child's education.
