Podcasting in the Classroom
I love the idea of using podcasts as another way for students to publish. Oral reports, poetry that they write, interviews, and other assignments can be podcasts in their final form. This is then easy for parents to see what their students are up to, and for relatives even far away to hear their loved ones voice.
I think teachers can also create podcasts, and use podcasts that others have created to enhance a lesson. Being able to hear the words of someone who actually fought in Vietnam, could be very meaningful. As could hearing a teachers voice giving a test review, on an iPod, while driving somewhere with mom and dad.
See this post for more information, and for a podcast I created.
