The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom by Joe Dale
By watching this link I learned a lot about how a podcast can make a lesson interesting for students. Podcast allow the students to use higher levels of bloom taxonomy when creating their own podcast.The students have a more in depth learning experience because, they are acting as a teacher. The students also get to be creative in how they will produce their podcast. On the other hand, podcast are great because you can upload them on the internet and they can be accessed by anyone at anytime. I learned that in your podcast you can pretend to be a tour guide, an explorer and much more to make it interesting not just something that spill out facts about a certain topic.

This third grade class did a great job in this podcast. I got the facts about Ancient Rome as well as a storyline while they each took turns in different scenarios explaining things about Ancient Rome. They were creative and also use some humor along the way. The podcast was very organized and the students expressed what they had learned while putting together the podcast. I learned that podcast can be more interesting if you incorporate a storyline into the podcast.
The Education Podcasting Network
This website was very informal.According to the website, The Education Podcast Network is an effort to bring together into one place, the wide range of podcast programming that may be helpful to teachers looking for content to teach with and about, and to explore issues of teaching and learning in the 21st century. I learned that a podcast is the merger between a blogger and a radio. The website was organized but many of the links had an error and would not allow access. There were subject specific podcasts as well as student and class podcast.
Hi Amberli, I also think that podcasting is an interesting way for students to learn. They are eager to learn when they are included in the lesson plan. They feel that they have accomplished something when they are teaching and creating their own podcast.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Amberli! Podcasting is a great tool for the tech literate teacher to keep on hand. I think the most important thing that happens with podcasting is the incidental learning that takes place. Students learning about new technology, working together, ways of gathering information, the importance of details, etc. These are skills they will take with them into every new learning situation.
