Response to podcasts

I chose to watch the second choice on our list of sites with pod casts.Pod casting works with the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, allowing children to be innovative if they are making their own pod casts. It also promotes creativity. Pod casting is a form of learning that children today are familiar with and can relate to, therefore it may be more beneficial to them than traditional learning methods.

Pod casts also offer differentiation, children can listen to them as review and it allows them to gain a more in depth experience of the subject matter. It also enhances by offering new options. Such as children who are sick or absent from school for one reason or another. The students can listen to the teacher's daily lecture through podcast on their personal computer! Awesome! I wish I had that opportunity when I was in high school.

I also learned that pod casting can allow parents to stay tuned in to what their kids are learning and doing in school on a daily basis.

  1. I agree with you when you said making their own podcast promotes creativity. Parents need to be involved in their children's life and podcast can help them be involved in their school.
