What Has Podcasting Done for You?: Great Things Often Begin in Small Ways


I think the act of putting ones thoughts into a podcasts engages the students in a deeper, often more thoughtful way in their learning. It takes it a step beyond the idea shared verbally in the classroom and forces the student to research and rehearse while being mindful that what is said will be both shared and saved for others to hear. It is also exciting to put ones own voice on the topic rather than just the teacher.

  2. I also like how podcasts add some new elements to research projects. The students get to practice researching, writing, revising and rehearsing. All good skills to have!
