I have never used a podcast in my classroom before, so the past two weeks I have learned a great deal. Podcasts are audio or video files used to deliver information to remote audiences via the internet. They can be used to introduce new concepts or reinforce previously taught concepts. Some great resources for podcasts I will use in my classroom are:
Audible.com/
www.usa.gov
masterymaze.com
science.nasa.gov
Librivox
Educational Podcast Network
Podcasts are very valuable tools for educators. Having students listen to or view a different perspective on a concept will help them to better understand that concept. As a teacher, having personally made podcasts available could be a great tool if you are scheduled to be out of the classroom. Students can still have direct instruction without you there. Also, having podcasts available for students to view at home is a great resource, as it can reinfore what was learned in class. Creating podcasts are a great way to publish student work and share it with others.
