Podcasting for All? November 30, 2007
Posted by SuperTech in Podcasting.trackback
Have you tried to create a podcast yet? For your students? With your students? I am in a workshop today about podcasting. I would love to try and do some professional development sessions for teachers so they could listen on their iPod or other mp3 player whenever they have time. What do you think? Would you listen? If you created a podcast to review material for your students, do you think they would download and listen? Some students are creating their own podcasts to share what they have learned about a topic. What do you want to try to do? There are some principals out there that are doing podcasts for their school communities on various topics. Do you think this is a good idea? Share your ideas about podcasting. What do you want to try first? What PD sessions would you like to see in a podcast format?
The podcast Valissa does at Hueytown Middle is a fantastic example of how valuable a learning tool podcasting can be for kids.
I cannot wait to create a Podcast. One thing I have waited on is the equipment. I have an i-Pod and I downloaded some recording software. Now I just have to stop thinking about it and do it!
I would like to try and record some classes and then have them available for students to listen to when they are absent. Or, if a teacher has a special speaker coming, it would be great to be able to create a podcast to be able to access the talk.
I also want to Podcast my Breakfast over Books of students talking about the current book we are reading. We are reading Romiette and Julio by Sharon Draper right now and the numbers of students has suddently exploded! I’m ready to podcast anytime!
My fourth graders will be adding podcasts to their blog page in January.
Check us out and let us know what you think.

I have finally assembled all the parts.. (a camera, ipod and now I think I am ready. Some professional development would be great. I have several teachers on the edge of doing. Thanks for your guidance and leadership.
