Podcasts are not something I am familiar with! According to Wikipedia a podcast is a series of digital files released as "episodes". These files are accessed via the internet on your personal computer or evend downloaded to an iPod. Viewers can set their computers to automatically download new episodes as they are posted.
As I continue to read more about them, I am realizing that podcasts can have a great impact on student learning. A podcast allows students to share learning experiences and has potential to make learning more meaningful and authentic. Teachers can use them to provide additional information or review content and students can download it and review it at any time.
The past few weeks I instantly knew how I would like to use blogs and wikis in my classroom. Podcasts, however, are another story! I can easily add one to my classroom webpage but I find myself asking "How could I fit this into a first grade classroom?"
Any thoughts??
