Podcasting reflection

Using a podcast in the classroom would be beneficial when a teacher is able to have the lesson verbally taught while he/she is walking around the room to check participation/understanding.  A challenge would be time (how long to make depending on lesson).  Having a child create a podcast would give him/her ownership of their learning.  It would allow the child the ability to "show off" what he/she knows to peers and/or parents.  I am not ready to have my student create a podcast independently but could see the possibility of having an end of the year podcast posted to my classroom blog with each child saying what they liked best about Kindergarten.

  1. I like what you said about allowing the child to "show off" what he/she knows to peers--I'm always looking for ways my students can shine in front of their peers:)

  2. I also love this idea of allowing the child to "show off." One great thing about a podcast is that they have an unlimited amount of tries to get their best recording. :)
