Thing #14 - Podcasting

The idea of podcasts keep coming up in my life! I have been in conversations with many teachers who want to start using these for their lessons so students (absent or struggling) can play them after it is over. This is so exciting! Plus, I love the idea of the MP3 player so students can listen/watch anywhere!

The two I looked at are ones specifically for students, since that is what is coming up in my life:
Mr. Langhorst - 8th grade History
http://www.liberty.k12.mo.us/%7Eelanghorst/blog
This has lessons, STUDYCASTS for students to review materials, a blog, etc. The STUDYCASTS are for students to listen to the teacher, Mr. Langhorst, as he talks about the unit.

Another fun one is Grammar Girl
http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/
This has audio (with transcripts) of answers to grammar questions. This is a great way for students to learn the grammar "rules" over and over. YAHOO!
