Ms.Tolisano makes a podcast with first graders by reading a book chapter by chapter. After they finished a chapter they would have a class discussion. The students would make up questions and answers and record their own voices. They were shy at first, but they became more confident. They were able to work on many different skills such has speaking, presenting, and media technology. I think this is a great way to build confidence and make learning fun!
The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom
Benefits of Podcasting
Joe Dale talks about the benefits of podcasting in the classroom. He states that the students become more excited and learning becomes fun. It is a way to interact with the students outside of the classroom. If the students miss class they can still get the information through the classroom to stay up to date. It is also a way for the parents to stay informed on what the students are learning. I think that it is a useful tool to have access to in the classroom.

Judy Scarf talks about podcasting as a "radio style" talk show and the benefits it has in the classroom. You will find lots of instructions for creating podcast and great tips. There are many teacher resources as well. She says that podcasting is easy and we should take advantage of it. I do think it has some benefits and will be a great tool for the classroom.
"... such has speaking..." as not has
ReplyDeleteSuccinct. Thoughtful.
Amber,
ReplyDeleteGood job on the blog assignment! I, too, think that podcasting will be a useful tool for the classroom. The only issue that I saw in the blog was sentence structures. Other than that it was well summarized.
Take care,
