3 February 2011 - Podcasts

Last week we learned about podcasts which I actually had no clue what it was. I now know that its a general annoucement to a audience to warn about something. For our homework we had to make our own podcast and me and my partner decided to do an earthquake drill for are announcement. I know that its very important in schools to have drills and practice them so students will know what to do in case of a real emergency. I know podcasts can be used for alot of things, like say you want to give verbal instructions for a homework assignment. I could attach a podcast to my site then students could listen to the instructions instead of reading them. Sometimes verbal can help a student understand how to do something more easily. I could definatly see podcasts being a major benifit for my future classroom!
