According to the Education Podcast Network:
The best way to understand podcasting is to imagine a merger between blogging (regularly posted articles of news, insight, fun, grips, literature, and more)and radio.
- Podcasting is essentially radio programming that can be produced with a standard computer, microphone, free software, and a web site for posting your programming.
- Podcasting can be listened to with any computer connected to the Internet and able to play standard MP3 audio files.

I might have students 'interview an expert' on a topic we are studying. One student will play the interviewer and one the expert.

Could record solo auditions and have all of my classes listen to them.

Podcasting will help to keep students engaged during class time, and help them use higher order thinking in the classroom. It will be a great tool!
Nora M.
I could use this with pre-vocational students in research a career or interviewing someone in a career they are interested in pursuing.
Brenda A.
I could have my students research technology and report on what they found.
Richard A.
This will be much tougher with a class of 34 than a class of 20.
Peter H.
I liked the idea of students doing book reviews - other students would then be able to look for information about a book to read. Janet D.
I teach Spanish, so I can ask my native speakers to say our new vocabulary words for the non-native speakers.
Julie L.
Since students love to watch "Mystery Diagnosis" we may be able to create our own "Mystery Diagnosis" for our class.
Maureen
I might have students doing a mini lesson on planning for their future. we will do a mini play about an specific career.
I can use this today! This will allow students to be even more creative with certain topics in science.
Beth B.
This will be helpful for my students to promote global understanding.
When reading novels, teachers can connect with other classes that are reading that novel. Students can send Pod casts back and forth info about the novel, reviews, questions, etc.
We can use podcasting as a review for a test. Students can have different parts to podcast about and then they can listen to all of them to study from at home.
Chris M.
Students demonstrating computer proficiency through a video podcast, using a piece of software such as Jing.
Sverrir G.
Students can use podcasting to define amthematical concepts for fellow students.

I would like to record substitute plans for my students. I also think that I could present problems with mistakes and students must correct. KJC
This could be a good way for studnets who have been absent to HEAR a short explanation of something we did in class rather than simply copying the notes.
Renee A.
Podcasting will be a great tool in the class room.

Students could look at a science diagram as a unique piece of art. They could describe the art like a critic; thereby, explaining the concept.
Monica B
I would use podcasting by recording readings from class. This would help students' comprehension of the text and reinforce proper pronunciation.
Ana V.
I plan on having my social studies students interview Columbus about his travels to and original inpressions about the new world.
This would be good for students to share what they have read with others. It also supports their English oral language production.
I might using to do reading aloud to my ELL student. Record a story using their voices as a different characters.
Elisa T.
Can be used for oral presentations.
Can be used for the teacher to record class lecture notes for students who were absent.

Use for a study guide or important notes for upcoming test
Ailcia O
Record test items/questions for students with a disability in the area of reading.
Randi C.
To record directions for an activity that the students will do that day.
Cindy D.
I would use the podcast for
Q and A questions for an upcoming test
Podcast would be good for students to summarize the reading or recreate the story into a play. It will demonstrate a deeper understanding of teh sotry by presenting it in a different format.
Michelle H.
Not sure......math is difficult for students to listen to rather than looking at it. Posting for HW for now maybe some general responses to questions.
Mike
I believe that it would be beneficial and fun to have the students practice their oral presentations in the form of a podcast before they give the actual presentation.
Kevin E.
Very interesting useful for the classroom
