Podcasting

Podcasts were new to me and honestly it made me feel old and out of date when I was trying to navigate around the itunes website. This particular assignment has truly opened my eyes to an entirely different way to teach and learn not only in the classroom but also as continuing ed.

After listening to a few I saw how addictive podcasting could be. I thought it was wonderful that you could connect to people from all over the world by using skype! I great way to refer to using podcasts in the classroom would be as "extended academic conversation." Podcasts come in all shapes and forms, but no two podcasts are created equally.

I would use podcasts in my class as yet another great way to communicate with parents and student's alike. In addition to the a weekly letter I think a weekly podcast would be wonderful. Also, the amount of continuing education that a teacher can get out of sharing with one another is simply astronomical!
