Podcasting is a great tool for the creative expression of knowledge preferred by today's students, and provides an exciting way for students and educators to explore and discover educational content. When students create a podcast for class, they not only learn the content in a creative way, they learn 21st-century communications skills at the same time.
Podcasting allows educators to take their students beyond traditional assignments by letting them use voice recordings, photos, movies, and sound effects to share their knowledge. I like many of the classroom uses; students who draft and perform scripts as a writing assignment, create a visual progress report for an ongoing project, or submit a recorded version of a science presentation.
I specifically like that podcasting is a great way for educators to deliver content to their students. They can distribute homework assignments, record book narration for beginning readers to read along with, or create foreign language lessons that students can review at their own pace. For educators and administrators, podcasting is an effective tool for professional development, as well as for communicating with parents about classroom activities and school announcements.
