Podcasts

What?

This week we learned about how to make Podcasts. We created a Public Service Announcement, then pasted it into our websites. My partner and I did a PSA about the Effects of Smoking on youth.

So What?

Podcasts can be incredibly important in the classroom. A teacher can use them to help teach a lesson, or to keep parents informed on what the students are doing/learning at a certain point. As a student, I can use podcasts to help me in a presentation, or there are even podcasts that help me learn certain lessons that my Professors might want me to listen to.

Now What?

Looking into the future, I can see how Podcasts could help me teach lessons in the classroom. All students need variety in lessons, and Podcasts would be a unique way to break up a monotonous lesson. Teaching them how to make podcasts would also be a useful lesson; students learn from students as easily as (and sometimes better than) they do from teachers. Having my students make Podcasts that their peers—and even my future students—can listen to would be a benefit to everyone.
