I thought that this podcast was adorable! When I become a teacher, I hope to be able to upload cute stuff like this! If third graders are able to do a podcast, we certainly should be able to. I also learned some stuff about Rome while listening to this!
The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom
There are several benefits for teacher uploading podcasts for their students. One reason is that the student can listen to it any time of day, and as many times as needed. If a teacher records their lectures, the student can go back and listen to them as a review. I agree that it is a very good tool to use if a student is absent, or sick. It allows student who are absent a chance to keep up with the rest of the class. Podcasting is also a very good way for parents to stay involved. The parents can go listen to the podcast and be able to know what their child is learning.

Kindra,
ReplyDeleteI, too, thought that the Eagle Nest Radio was adorable. The kids seemed so enthused to be creating their podcast. I agree that if a third grader can create a podcast than there is no reason why we should not be able to do the same.

I, also, think that using podcasts to publish lessons is a good resource for parents. I didn't think about that fact until I read your post. It's a great to stay up-to-speed with the rest of the class if a student is out.

I was astounded to hear of using the iPod to learn new languages. This would make learning not only easier, but it may just encourage people to continue learning!
Kindra,
ReplyDeleteYou brought up a great point ... The parents can go listen to the podcast and be able to know what their child is learning. I think this is just as good of a learning process for the parents. They can help their children because they need to know what they are learning and they can also learn themselves. So both the parent and child can learn together!
