Podcast

I was very weary of podcasting before we podcasted our literature circle on Friday. That fear was based on ignorance. I didn't know how it worked and was quite skeptical regarding its educational value. I saw how easy it was after completing one and I began to think how this could really benefit me in a Social Studies classroom. I think this strategy would be very beneficial for oral reports. and presentations. It would be a change of pace from having students stand up and just present. With the podcast they could create their own radio or talk show related too something about history. This would also be beneficial for having students demonstrate to their parents and the school administration what they have been learning in class. I will definitely incorporate this technology in my classroom because it is not only effective, but very easy to set up!
