What is a Podcast?

Portable
On
Demand
broadCAST

A podcast is a type of digital media consisting audios, videos, portable document format (PDF) on the web. A podcast is like a radio.

Within the classroom, the usage of podcast is unlimited. Teachers can use a podcast to connect with their students as a class newsletter announcing upcoming events and other pertinent information.

Teachers can use a podcast to give step by step instructions in Compositions lessons on How to make..... Students should now be able to write better Compositions.

Presenting oral presentations is another way a podcast can be used in the classroom. This will give both teachers and students the opportunity to make up for extra classes during the school year. Students can also use this opportunity to interact with the teacher on weak subject areas.

Students can share audio documents with their classmates using podcast which should also improve students learning and thinking during and after lessons.

In the event a student is absent from school one day, his/her classmates can record the lesson using podcast and then share the document with the absent child. This way, the child would not left behind in the lesson since he can access the lesson anywhere.

Using a podcast is a new initiative for me! Before this software was introduced to me I begin to wonder. Why do I need to know about podcast? How can I use a podcast? Where am I going to use a podcast and to whom I am going to use podcast with? After the lesson with Mrs. Greene and Mrs. Marsh-Roberts these questions were answered and I now appreciate Podcast and its usage. Looking forward to continue this journey with EDET and Mrs. T. Marsh Roberts!
