Thing 17
I think there can be some limited use for podcasting in the classroom. If you find a good pod cast that is clear and concise with good information it would be a good supplemental tool for a subject. I listen to some of the tech teachers pod casts. I thought they talk a little too much off of the topic. Also a little too much failed humor. I also listen to the Smartboard podcasts. They were pretty good but those guys were pretty chatty as well. I did also subscribe to the Nova podcast on PBS and I have been listening to NPR’s “This I Believe” on my Itunes for a while now and enjoy them. I have thought about how my school can use podcasting and I think next year we will somehow incorporate the podcasting into the students doing morning announcements. I think the students would enjoy doing it and with all the students having i-pods maybe with their friends on the podcast they would listen to announcements.
