Blog Post 5

The first resource I read was the 3rd grade podcast. This was a great teaching tool, and I was fascinated by how well the third graders were able to use this technology. They did a podcast on Ancient Rome. They did exceptionally well teaching the subject and talking about it. I learned that my podcast needs to be creative and needs to cover the subject well enough for my readers to learn it.
The next resource was the benefits of podcasting in the classroom. This video described the benefits of using podcasts. Some of them are: a great way to interact with students outside the classroom, promotes creativity and innovation, and parents can see and hear what their kids are doing at school. Watching this I learned that podcasting is very effective and a great teaching tool. Not only does it help the students, but also gets the parents involved. I know now that my podcats can be a great way to teach others the topic of berp back education the topic my group is assigned.
The third and final resource I looked at was The Education Podcast Network. This mainly is used to inform the new teaching and learning styles of the 21st Century. It goes in to detail about how useful podcasting is and how in this new century it should be in the classrooms. And the Judy Scharf Podcast Collection gives information on how to do my podcast. It shows you how to set up a podcast and how to edit it. This also gives the benefits of podcasting in education. I learned from these pages that I need to put adequate time into my project and make it as good as it can be. Again podcasting is a great teaching tool and should be used in an efficient manner.

  1. Brenton,
    Thanks for completing the assignment. I will say though to add a picture, and include the links so others can read what you did. Be a little more in depth about what you read so that others can know what you are talking about without having to read it. Keep up the good work!
    Thanks,
    Amberly Elmore
