Podcast
I think podcasts in the classroom are very important. Podcast is basically the word iPod and broadcast in one. As described in Langwitch's blog, podcasts can be recorded by teachers and played by students to get ahead or get a better understanding of the subject. According to Joe Dale's blog about podcasts, they can be very helpful to students outside of the classroom. Take for instance, if a student is sick they no longer have to worry about missing an assignment or lesson. They can simply log onto their teacher's website and watch the podcast. Podcast allow for differentiation and project based learning.
According to Judy Scharf and her blog, the beauty about podcasts is that they can be about any subject and any teacher can succeed in using them. Students have become very interested in this and enjoy learning with others. For me, I will definitely use podcast in my classroom. Only thing is I wish I was able to use podcast as a child!
I hope you do use podcasts.
