When I begin EDM310 I knew what a podcast was but I was never interested in finding out how it worked. As I started to become familiar with Podcast I began to see the potential in how Podcast could be very useful in the classroom. There are a variety of different topics discussed in Podcast but I focused on educational Podcast because education is the career in which I am trying to pursue.
To find these educational podcast I searched through iTunes. iTunes is a very popular site that many people visit to listen and download music . When I pulled up iTunes I went to Podcast, which is located at the very top of the page, then I selected Education and then K-12. There were several topics that are available for educational purposes.
Podcast can improve students learning. They can be played on any Mac, PC, iPod, or iPhone. So anywhere a students is at (car, bus, or school) there is an opportunity to learn. When students know that their lectures can be available to them as podcast they can focus more on what's being discussed in class and be more engaged.
Below I have posted a link to an iTunes Podcast that is great for children who are learning how to read. The name of the Podcast is Hooked on Phonics. This particular Podcast focuses on teaching children how to become familiar with Rhyming words. This would be a really great way for children to learn because it also has music and pictures. Enjoy!!!!
