Podcasts & Vodcasts!


We learned about Podcasts and Vodcasts! I really like the idea of incorporating them into education. I don't think they would be appropriate for my younger students to create and produce. However, I think they do have promising potential in other ways in the classroom. They can be used to bring educational interviews into the classroom, on days when you have a substitute in order to explain concepts to children, or as a way to sort of keep in touch with parents. That is, we can incorporate them in order for parents to listen to at home if they need clarification on a topic. They would be great tools for English Language Learners. There is so much potential in them that the ideas are endless, but of course keeping in mind what is most effective and beneficial for our students.
