I watched the Intergrating ICT into the MFL Classroom. This video was very educational on how podcasts and videocasts are now becoming the new generation of T.V.. Some teachers have introduced podcasts to their students as a way of enhancing their learning and keeping them interested in their studies. The children enjoy it as much as the teachers do because it lets them take part in activities in the classroom, which has shown to improve kids learning skills and it also helps increase test scores.
It will be very interesting to see how often podcasts are done in the classroom years from now, that number will be impressive im sure. It was also neat to know that in elementary and middle schools, children who are out sick or for other reasons can get their assignments online through their classroom podcasts. thats a wonderful idea because it doesnt let a child get behind on their studies or miss a part of their education.

You will be contributing to the podcast library soon. Where did you get the neat poll at the end of your post?
ReplyDeleteMy Mom is a 6th grade teacher and that information comes from her personal teaching. She does podcasts in her class and most of her kids readings scores increase after exercising a podcast in the room.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Where does she teach? She would be a good person to interview for our podcasts!
