Blog Post #4

       With the advancement of Technology today, most teachers are incorporating technology into the class room. One popular way for this to take place is through podcast. Podcast are multimedia digital files that are made available through the internet to be downloaded to any portable media player (iPhone or mp3 player) or computer.  Through podcast teachers are allowed to explore different teaching methods and use it as a source for the students and their parents.




        As shown in the video, The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom, a social studies teacher uses podcasting to not only record each lesson so if a student misses a day they can visit the teachers blog and get the lessons from that day but he uses it to help teach a lesson on slavery. Podcast allows the teacher to do readings in character making it fun for the students. The three major benefits from using podcasting in this form is more teacher and student interaction, student learning is more memorable, and parents can see what and how their kids are being taught. 




         The plus side of podcasting is that any age group can use it. It helps teach any subject while advancing everyday skills like oral fluency and comprehension. Podcasting can be one of the greatest things for today's student. It is appealing and persuasive in a way that intrigues those involved in the advancement of teaching methods in education.

  2. This was a really great post. You have a few grammatical errors such a commas missing, but other than that your writing is very fluid and understandable. Also I think for this post we were suppose to review three different podcast and summarize them, not just one.
