I am now an administrator, but I used podcasting a great deal when I was teaching. I did studycasts and I now teach my teachers how to podcast on MyPodcast.com. My training site is :<br />

It has an example of a study cast and of a fun historycast that my students would be asked to do.

ITunesU is a really great resource I was just introduced to this year. ItunesU has podcasts from many different educational universities involving many different topics. There was a really cool series about the Holocaust. They have different podcasts from Holocaust survivors- and they tell their stories. If a middle school teacher teaches about the Holocaust these podcasts can fit vey nicely in the lesson. ITunesU is a very fun and educational resource involving podcasts and can be a really…

At the school I work at, there is a college close by. I teamed up with a professor there who teaches future teachers in the area of reading. We developed an activity where my students, 3rd graders, did an oral reading podcast and their college "podcast pal" listened to their podcast and then returned a podcast giving suggestions on what they can do to improve in their reading (all area). The 3rd graders would then practice their suggestions before the next podcast 2 weeks later. This process of…

The 3rd graders would then practice their suggestions before the next podcast 2 weeks later. This process of podcasting back and forth continued throughout the year. My 3rd graders were very motivated as they were for the most part, a class labeled "At Risk". Through this project, their reading fluency and comprehension improved a lot! Hi, everyone,

Hi, everyone,<br />
In addition to the value that teachers can add to the learning experience with podcasting, there is also the added value of students using this facility themselves. If not a full blown podcast, just being able to record notes themselves and to save these as.mp3 files can be extremely valuable. We (we are a Further Education College - ages16-19 predominantly + some 14+ and many adult part-time learners) use a program called Podium…

If not a full blown podcast, just being able to record notes themselves and to save these as.mp3 files can be extremely valuable. We (we are a Further Education College - ages16-19 predominantly + some 14+ and many adult part-time learners) use a program called Podium <a href="http://www.podiumpodcasting.com/">http://www.podiumpodcasting.com/</a> which has a simple interface and enables ease of use for the novice. It allows for podcast production or just recording of individual mp3/wav files. I have attached feedback from an 18 year old student who used this to record her revision notes in preparation for her advanced level exams (before entry to University). We intend to promote this heavily to students in the coming academic year.

First you don't need to create a podcast for students to learn. There are lots of great content already out there. I teach science and I have found anatomy and physiology and chemistry. I have a colleague who uses one of the language podcasts with her world languages class. My AcaDec team once found info on Chinese history. I make brief chapter summaries and tutorials that I link to my blog so kids can download. Kids can make cool podcasts as well. I have had them write original poetry and…
First you don't need to create a podcast for students to learn. There are lots of great content already out there. I teach science and I have found anatomy and physiology and chemistry. I have a colleague who uses one of the language podcasts with her world languages class. My AcaDec team once found info on Chinese history. I make brief chapter summaries and tutorials that I link to my blog so kids can download. Kids can make cool podcasts as well. I have had them write original poetry and record it with Garageband music. I have had kids make enhanced podcasts of dissections. I gave extra credit for extra languages since our school has 13. I had another class make a radio talk show based on characters from a chapter in a book. I am only now looking at screencasting and how it can be helpful. Another way to use mps players as teaching tools is for classroom management: pass up papers music, clean up music, content music etc.... The other day I played the muscle song. My classes than had 10 minutes to "choregraph" this song. There is some good content available in music. The brain folks say we should be using music 1/3 of the time. Sue,

I have my students produce podcasts (from seven of my different US History classes) on the week in review. The podcast focus on key concepts and terms that were used in the weeks instruction. I then upload the podcast and at times have selected students upload the podcast to each classes blog page. The students then listen to the podcast and take an in class quiz that week.<br />

Sean, I agree it seems like a disconnect kinda "big brotherish". Our students did podcasts as passengers and crew on the <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/titanic">Titanic</a>--I thought that was a good idea. I've seen other good podcasts but having students read reports or teachers recording lectures doesn't cut it in my opinion.<br />

I see so many people using the tools when it doesn't enhance teaching, learning, thinking, discussing or reflecting--like some how the tool itself is a magic bullet to enlightenment. That won't last long though--IMHO 90% of the tools will be gone and the other 10% will charge a fee in a few years.
