The benefits of podcasting in the classroom
I chose to watch "The benefits of podcasting in the classroom" video. It starts off talking about the millinial generation, of which I am a part. We have grown up with the constant presence of technology. They then use a great example of how useful podcasting can be. When children miss school, they miss valuable information. If we make that information available to them at home, it can help them keep up in the classroom.
Harry Dell was able to utilize podcast technology in his classroom by having others help him act out readings. This made reading more interesting, and the kids were much more willing to be involved. The students not only enjoyed the different voices telling the stories, they were also able to create their own podcasts. They made their own stories, enriching not only their experiences with technology, but their reading and writing skills.

I agree with you, podcasting is a good way students can get the information if they dont make it to school. Also they can replay it if they didnt pick up the information if they were in class.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you wholeheartedly. I would also like to point out that the students will also be able to remember what they have acted out for years to come. So this assignment not only enriched their experiences in technology, reading, and writing but it also enriched their memory.
