Podcasting

For this assignment we had to create a 3 minute long podcast. We had to mention a couple things about ourselves and what our teaching philosophy is. I think my podcast turned out pretty well. I liked what I said, I had problems with the music. However, I did not feel that was the important part of the podcast so I left it.

I think podcasts can be very useful in the classroom. It can be a creative outlet for student projects. Teachers can also record their lessons and upload them onto a class website. This way if a student is absent he/she can still be caught up in the lesson. I think this would be better then just uploading an outline of the lesson and letting the student fill in the blanks. I do not think I will start making podcasts, now that I know how. I do think once I become a teacher though I will definitely consider recording lessons to turn into a class podcast.
