I enjoyed creating my podcast. I had never tried it before. I was a little confused at first and needed
some help getting started. I am not
experienced using a Mac. After creating one,
its many uses became apparent. I liked
not only being able to record voice and music, but I thought the ability to
include pictures was beneficial as most children are visual learners. I
would like to try creating one using a program I could use on my own computer.
Podcasts can be wonderful tools for the classroom. Teachers can use them to record and reinforce
lessons. Teachers may use them in a work
shop so that children can hear instructions individually. When a
child misses school a podcast may benefit the student by helping them catch up.
Podcasts are also an excellent way to introduce children to
technology. They can practice many
skills when creating their own podcasts.
They will learn to develop an idea, collect and organize information and
manage their time. Students can use a
podcast to write a speech and present it. By creating a podcast students will learn how
to integrate self-expression with technology.
Many teachers are using podcasts in school. There are many educational podcasts available
online. Creating a podcast meets technology standards in many states. Since there are so many components to
creating a podcast, it is easy to integrate many subject areas and standards
while using them. A site I found useful
is:
Podcasting in the Classroom: http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~nshelley/index.html
National Geographic also has many podcasts available for the curious young researcher
