Langwitches Blog

Producing a Podcast tells about different ways that you can record a podcast; one way they suggest recording a podcast is using a cell phone. I know that my mom's school lets the students use a voice recorder while reading and they can go back later and listen to themselves reading on the ipod. The Langwitches Blog also gives an outline for people to use to help them prepare, plan, and create the podcast. The Blog also has examples of podcasts the Kindergarteners did with examples of different ways you can change the voices in the podcast to make it more fun for the students.

Podcasting with 3rd Grade
is an example of a project that a teacher did with a 3rd grade class. The blog tells different things that the student will learn in the project about animals. The students learn about the animal but also research skills, storytelling skills, and learn how to use computers to edit their podcast. The 3rd graders that did this project are more experienced with podcasts than most adults. I think that using podcasts in education is a very good idea. The teachers can teach using podcasts but the students can also learn at a young age how to create a podcasts through projects that will be fun for the students and the teacher.
