The benefits of podcasting in the classroom- http://is.gd/2cd2l (week 4)

The benefits of podcasting in the classroom, showed a short podcast that talked about podcasting and vodcasting (Video podcast). They talked to students about how they like having podcasting in the classroom. It also gives examples why podcasting in the classroom is a positive way in students learning. A couple of examples that the site gave were, “podcasting are a form of learning students of today are familiar with and therefore makes it relevant to them.” Another example is, “students can record role playing in character making their learning more memorable.” The example I liked the most as a parent myself was, “parents can see and hear what their children are doing at school.”

After watching and reading this site, I believe that podcasting or vodcasting different topics and lessons in the classroom is a good way to interact all students in a fun and creative way. This will allow them to use their imaginations and make the lessons their own. They can use music and role playing to transform into person in history and characters from a book. The teachers can put the podcast and vodcast online and if a student is out sick for more than a day, they can go online anywhere and view the lessons from that day and be able to stay current with their fellow classmates. It will also allow parents to see and hear what their child is learning and doing in the classroom.
