Podcast

A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. Podcast is generally associated with the "iPod." I would use podcasts in my classroom as they are a fun, new and exiting way of doing orals. Students could go home and record their orals into a podcast and then present that for the class. The only negative thing about using podcast for the reason of presenting an oral, would be that students do not get a chance to stand up in front of their peer. So to fix this negative point I would only allow students to learn podcasts during/ for a technology subject. This would widen their technology skills. Podcasts really are a neat and exciting tool that all students would advantage from.
