Today we had a presentation on different ways to use Podcasts in the classroom. As a listener of Podcasts, I was very excited to see how then could be brought into the classroom and the benefits of doing so. A big benefit I had not considered was the social aspect. Using Podcasts to connect to students is a great way to get to know them. The group did a great job of demonstrating this by having the class generate a list of Podcasts we listened to in a Google Doc and we had a chance to share why we like the ones we chose. It worked really well because we were able to learn more about our classmates but also identify areas of common interest we hadn’t before. It also left us with a great, cohort generated resource of diverse Podcasts and ideas of how to use them in the classroom. I can really how useful this would be for a new teacher.
