Blog Post #4

kids using ipods

PodClasses
Joe Dale shares information on how podcasting in the classroom can be beneficial to the students.

All the reasons for pod casting were very true and show how it makes sense for us to have them in classes.
The video starts out by stating the fact that we will be teaching a generation that has never known a life without personal computers and other technologies. The parents can see and hear what their child is learning/doing at school.  Then when a child is sick and go to school if the teacher uploads the lessons through podcast then the student will not be behind when they return. It would also be an creative way to present information instead of typing a paper. I've heard of podcasting before, but I never really knew what it was or what you could gain from it. I only wish that I had that kind of resource during my time of being in school.



In Podcast With Frist Grade, her students read a textbook in the class. First, they read a chapter  once and then they discuss what happened on the chapter as they are reading. They record the process in which they questions about it for them and they answers it. She says that they were thrilled to record and later hear their piece of work. For this particular podcast the children wrote a pretend interview with characters in a book that they liked. The students came up with the questions and the characters' answers as well. Her teaching methods make her students get skills of literacy and technology. Basically, her students get skills of reading, speaking, listening, comprehension, performance, but also use media and technology tools well through her teaching. 

The post Podcast Collection defines what a podcast is and its main uses. Itprovides a wealth of information and how-to's on her blog regarding podcasting.  There was also an awesome video on how to create a podcast. ideas for podcast projects, and suggestions for researching your topics. These are wonderful ideas about the integration of podcasts into classes. This information as a collection, will be effective in providing me great ideas in creating my Podcast.

  1. Hey Jonathan,

    I agree that students having podcasts as a resource would have been great when I was in elementary and high school.

    Good post! I saw a few grammatical errors in your post, but they were minor. Be sure to proof read your work though.
