Joe Dale -  Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom

The video on Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom helped me to understand the importance of podcasting in the classroom. Podcasting opens a student's imagination and increases their thinking skills. Podcasting is a great form of technology to use when a student is ill and miss days of school. It creates a way for these students to gain access to information and lessons they missed by being absent. Parents also have access to this information and this allows parents and their children a chance to explore together, what the student has learned in class.

I thought this podcast was a wonderful way this teacher let her students explore their imaginations and express their creativity. I loved the vivid detail and enthusiasm each student had as they read about their journeys. The students were allowed to choose any location they would like, then find information about that particular location and write their very own script. This project allowed students to go on a journey around the world right from their classroom.

  1. Hi, Jasmine!
    I like your post a lot. I also posted on the benefits of podcasting as well and I agree that it is very helpful to both student and teacher.I also agree that podcasting is a great way to let kids activate the deep caverns of their imaginations which in turn helps them learn even more. Keep up the good work.
