PODCASTING

Podcasting is an interesting technique that can be used in the classroom as a way to distribute multimedia files over the internet for playback on a mobile device or a personal computer. A video podcast is very similar to a YouTube video. They are generally not too long in length and contain video play back controls. It is easily accessible on the web and very easy to create. This unique application provides support and guidance to students. This device comes in handy by providing students with video clips for solving problems, explaining concepts, and creating short presentations. It is also a useful tool when students have forgotten concepts or ideas three weeks after you taught them. In addition, it provides a variety of explanations for students. Below is an example of a Podcast that I have created for my students to listen to when reading along to our weekly story, Frog and Toad All Year.
