Podcasting

Podcasts help supplement learning in the classroom. Whatever the content area, using podcasts creates a motivating environment that is authentic. Students typically perform for the teacher and fellow students; however, using podcasts will greatly widen their audience. When having students create podcasts, the teacher can encourage the students to concentrate on their intonation, speed of delivery and expression. Hence, the students are learning the content information along with basic speech skills. Lastly, podcast are fairly inexpensive. The main expense is the microphone, which frequently is already equipped in computers. Nevertheless, podcasts provide a cheap, yet beneficial technology that can easily be utilized in the classroom.

Here is a link to my podcast.
