I thought a lot of the programs that are avible for creating and posting podcasts are really a neat way to enguage students in showing their learning, using differnet mediums. Also, I think podcasting would be a neat way for either studnets or teachers to create some reviews or recaps of a lesson. Having the online tools - that are free- are a neat way to do this , so teachers or studnets don't have to worry about checking out computers at school - neccessarily.
For my podcast, I used Avery, which I really liked. I think it has a lot of advanced options, for creating podcasts.

Did you find Avery as easy or easier than Garage Band? I agree that it is a great resource for students because most have access to a computer, but not necessarily to the needed software. Were students able to create and save their podcasts on line so that they could come back to it?
ReplyDeleteI think podcasts are something that more teachers should tap into to get students more engaged in their learning. It's also good for audio learners/weak readers to hear directions along with seeing them in print.
I really like your idea of using podcasts to review class material. I would be interested, as well, to hear if you like using Avery more than Garage Band. Teachers really need to utilize this technology in their teaching to engage student. I think it is our job in the LMC to train educators so that they are confident and able to use podcasting programs within their classroom. Besides review purposes, how else have you used podcasts in your lessons?
