Podcasting in Education

     Podcasting does certainly have a place in education. There are many ways that teachers can use podcasting to their advantage in the classroom. One reason being that it brings a sense of excitement to the students. They most likely haven't hear a podcast in any of their other classrooms and also most likely haven't done a podcast either. Not only is it a learning experience for them to listen to a podcast, it can also be a learning experience for them to actually do a podcast as well. Another way to use podcasting in the classroom is for substitute teachers. If you create a podcast in advance (if you know you will be absent from work) your sub can play in during class, and you can still, in a way, be there teaching your students. Podcasting is a great way to get your students involved in learning, if you have trouble with that anyway. 

     I have created a podcast that contains a summary of a podcast that I listened to. I listened to "How was slavery in New England different from slavery in the South" by The Choices Program. It is episode number 8 in their series and it was pretty interesting. You can listen to that summary (my podcast) here. I hope you enjoy.  You can find my blog summary below:
