Podcast QR

A podcast is an electronic message that can be either used in audio form or in video form. These podcasts can be used several ways in the classroom. They can be used to make a mothers day gift, teach children how to do something, or even record lesson plans. There are a number of reasons why teachers would want to use podcasting in a classroom setting. First they could use podcasting so students can take their lessons home and lesson to the notes instead of trusting them to read them. It also gets students using technology that they will have to use in future jobs. It can also help students learn more because some students learn things better by hearing them rather then seeing them. On the other hand, some podcasting could just take up time and not get the same result. Podcasting can also be somewhat difficult for teachers who don't like using technology and prefer to leave it out of their classrooms. I honestly like podcasting because I believe it will help me reach more kids in my classrooms and as teachers we need to try to reach as many kids as possible.
