Podcasting

I would have to say I have never been one to listen to podcasts or even search to look for one.  I am not a big fan of books on tape either.  Maybe I am just a reader.  My iPod to my iPhone has just been for me to listen to music.  I can see the advantage to Podcasting. I just have not ventured there myself.  In the past, I have thought of making a podcast for study guides for my students but went the way of an animated video instead.  I have done screen casting for substitutes when I have been out school days for my students to watch. 

In reviewing podcast, I see they are podcasts for any and all topics and range from a few minutes to a couple of hours.  Podcasting could be used for all levels of the instruction and learning process.  Students who need additional support on a topic could review a podcast you created or someone else has a review or for additional instruction.  Pod casting could also be used for extension.  In social studies, many times we must cover a topic at a very minimal level so that we can cover everything.  Podcasting would allow providing the extension of letting a student delve deeper into a topic which interests them.

In searching in the education categories, there was a range of topics alone.  Education could be personal education, leadership, personal management and self help, but also be topics within the education field.  I prefer to search for a specific topic, which could be in multiple categories.  I searched for the Ottoman Empire and there were podcasts under education, history and government.

After searching through Common Craft , Teacher Cast and of course Learning in Hand, always have to go to my go to guy, Tony Vincent.   Tony Vincent mention CNN Student News, we have watch this in classroom but now I can have my students listen or subscribe to the podcasts as extra credit or additional assignments if we do not have a chance.  I can now see myself searching through podcasts to see if I can find anything for myself to learn something new.  I am one of those who like to figure it out on my own as opposed to sitting in a classroom.  But I do see the benefit to use as a differentiation tool in my classroom as well.

I, like you, have never used podcasts in the classroom. I also think they are a great way to extend a lesson or give the students information that you do not have time to give in the classroom setting. I think it is also a great tool to have students share knowledge with one another and publish broadcasts for the world to hear.

I think it is a great way to do professional development. As an instructional technology specialist, I find it difficult to get some of skills taught to my teachers and this would be a great way to teach a simple skill a bit at a time. I think classroom teachers respond better to small bits of information with all the things they are required to do besides teach. They also can listen or watch the podcasts in their own time.

Christa,
I really enjoyed reading your post of podcasting. Like you, I have never used podcasting in my professional or personal life. Before this module, I was not aware of all the possibilities of using this tool in my classroom. I did not think that being a math teacher would allow me to use podcasts in my teaching. I enjoyed reading about your use of podcasting in Social Studies. I believe that using podcasts in social studies offer students the opportunity to understand the content better by hearing the information presented to them in a different manner. Do you have any suggestions for using podcasts in a math classroom?
