Blog Post Assignment #4

The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom by Joe Dale

Podcasting allows for differentiation in the classroom. It also focuses on the higher levels of Blooms Taxonomy; Evaluation, Synthesis, and Analysis. Podcasting also allows students to explore their creativity. One of the really great benefits of podcasting is if a student is out sick before a test or an assignment is due they can see what they have missed or what they need to review for their assignment or exam through their teacher’s podcast. Podcasts allow for more project based learning in the classroom. They are also beneficial to parents who want to know what is going on in their child’s classroom.

I will definitely use this podcasting video in the future for my assignment in EDM310 and in my future classroom. I think podcasting can help with a student’s pronunciation and reading skills. It also makes learning more fun which is really important in today’s education environment. When learning is boring and monotone you do not retain the information being taught to you. Mr. Dale’s video also included links to the podcasting sites Garage Band and Audacity, which will help when making my own.

  2. Hey Jamie,
    Although this post was incomplete I believe that your grammar and punctuation was really good. "I think podcasting can help with a student’s pronunciation and reading skills. It also makes learning more fun which is really important in today’s education environment." I agree with you completely podcasting is a great way to keep it fun in the classroom. Good luck with your future classes.
