Podcasts

A new way to use technology in the classroom is the Podcast. The Podcast is a useful tool found on the iPod. Podcasts are escentially short videos or audios that can communicate many different things. A useful tool that the Podcast could be used for would be, if some students are not grasping an idea, then the teacher could have a podcast made up to help explain the subject while the student is out of class and in a different setting. The Podcast could also be used to set up an assignment or project for the class. The students could then go back and look at the Podcast whenever they have questions about the instructions. This is helpful if the teacher is not at school or the students are working on the project at home.
