Longwhich's
Podcasting with a First Grader
This is a great blog and teaching
resource. This teacher went beyond what needed to be done and made a great
reading technique. The children were so excited about their post and were eager
to make more. It was exciting to see the pictures of the students being
involved in their own learning. I am also amazed at all the skills that were
practiced while recording and listening to the podcast. I have never
thought of creating a podcast as an educational resource, but this blog post
showed me the importance of what technology can do for a learning environment.
It also showed me how important it is for teachers to have knowledge of
technology and to use technology to the fullest.

The
Benefits of Podcasting in the classroom
This blog post taught me more skills
and useful ways a podcast can be used. Podcasting allows the students to show
their originality and creativity. It allows the students to be excited and
involved in their learning. Podcast help the students develop higher thinking
skills and challenges the student. Creating a podcast is a good resource in
case a child is out sick or on the go because it will allow the child to stay
on track with learning I never thought about how useful a podcast could be for
a child who has health issues. As a teacher I would not only use podcast to
keep absent students up to date but also to challenge my students thinking
skills.
What is a
Podcast?
After
learning so many useful ways to use a podcast in the classroom I wanted to
obtain knowledge on how to make a podcast. Judy Scharf’s podcast collection has
some really informative information. A podcast is a recording that can record
by anyone and played on an iPod, computer, or any mp3 player device. The
link “how to Create a Podcast” shares information about how to make a podcast.
Making a podcast is a free service and only a few items are needed to create
one. Scharf’s post proves once again how a podcast can be an educational
resource within the classroom. I really enjoyed this post and hope to use the
information as a resource.
I believe Longwhich's podcasting idea was a great teaching resource as well. You could hear the excitement in the students' voices, and the skills they were learning were countless. And yes, teachers certainly do need to keep up with technology; the use of technology in our future classrooms will undoubtedly enhance our students' learning experience.
