Blog Assignment #5

The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom by Joe Dale


This video gave out good information about podcasting. It should how pocasting can be used in the classroom and how students can use it away from the classroom. Watching this video, reading information from Education Prodcast Network and the Podcast Collection by Judy Scharf all gave good reason on why teachers should incorporate podcasting in the classroom. I believe the use of podcasting can be very successful in school. Podcasting allows students to be creative with their work. It also allow students to tune in away from the classroom. Judy Scharf podcast collection really gave out some good tips on how to succeed with podcasting. She also shared a Rubric that students can used to help grade on how effective podcasting is to them. The tips from the readings and video from above really help my group with our podcast. This also was good information that can help me as a future teacher with incorporating technology in the class room.

  1. Kristie,

    I am happy to hear that you learned a great amount about podcasting from Joe Dale, and you definitely seem to understand the importance of podcasts in the classroom. Podcasts are a great way to get students involved with working with one another, and it provides a fun way to do research. It is a great way to reach students who are not in the classroom, and there are so many more benefits. I was wondering if you read any other posts about podcasting, because I believe you were supposed to comment on three separate ones.

  2. Kristie,
    I, too, thought your blog post was great. It seemed a little short but I think what you said was very insightful. I agree that as future teachers, we must find ways to involve technology into the classrooms, and videos like these help us accomplish that goal. Thanks for sharing!
