Podcasts

Many topics were covered in class this week, but I really enjoyed learning about podcasts. I have never really had an interest in podcasts. Check out the one that I created in class on my sidebar!! We did get to explore some Web 2.0 tools that can easily help you create a podcast and that sparked my interest. I think that I could use podcasts with my class. I could have the kids read a piece of writing that they have created and post a link to their podcast. They could also do a project with their first grade buddies that could also be published. It would be so beneficial for the kids because they can practice their speaking and reading skills and it is a great way to communicate with parents what is going on in our class. There would also be a possibility for me to use a podcast as a monthly newsletter or update for parents. Something new that I think could have multiple uses.
