If you have to do a podcast, this site is where you need to go. She gives a detailed description on podcasting, and also gives some example podcast. Most importantly, you must give yourself plenty of time, although it seems simple, a podcast is very time consuming. Start early!
The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom
Podcasting in the classroom is a great idea. It exposes the children to project based learning, promotes creativity, allows parents to hear what is going on in the classroom, along with many other positive advantages. I think the children enjoy podcasting; they feel like they are really doing something and it keeps them interested. I like how Mr. Dale collaborated with fellow teachers to help with his podcast on the book. Using different voices is something we can do in our own podcast.
First Graders Create Their Own Read-Along Audio Book
It is amazing that this group of first graders created something so great. This read-along audio book was a great way for the children to explore with their own voices, wanting them to be just right. I think the free online converter, 2EPUB, and the dictionary part would be very useful.
Natasha,
ReplyDeleteBe sure to write more in the future! This blog post was a bit too short. Good job on the clickable links and alt and title modifiers on the picture!
Natasha,
ReplyDeleteThis post was good, in that all of your links worked. The only suggestion that I have is to expand a little on the descriptions of the links that you read. I did not read the "Judy Scharf Podcast Collection" and from what you wrote, as an outside reader, I do not know what her post was about. I agree that podcasting in the classroom is a good idea. Podcasting allows students to use their own imagination and have fun while learning. I think that learning should be fun and not a chore. After reading and listening to "First Graders Create Their Own Read-Along Audio Book", I was also amazed. It seems like these students had a great time and learned in the process. Good job on grammar! Good luck to you in EDM310!
