Podcasting and Blogs

Podcasting is online audio content with options to use imagery. Video podcasting is set up like a movie; complete with sound. Creating podcasts in the classroom has many educational benefits for teachers as well as for students. Students are able to design a product to share with a global audience. Knowing that there is a global audience gives students determination and inspiration to create a brilliant product. Putting together an audio recording is truly beneficial and is certainly a cross-curricular occurrence.

Podcasting can be used for:

1. Interviews
2. Music
3. Talk shows
4. Commentaries
5. Story time


Blogs
A blog is a website used frequently by my students to receive forms of commentary on their entries usually from their peers, as well as myself. Most entries consist of research and/or opinions on certain topics and ideas.
