I have decided to create this blog to document my adventure learning how to create a podcast. I am taking a course, EPSY 5235, in which I am required to learn a new technology to incorporate into my classroom instruction. I have decided to use podcasts because I believe they can be used cross-cirrucular. I see ways to incorporate podcasts into language arts instruction, as well as science and social studies. I think podcasts are simple enough to create that my third grade students would be able to create them. I also think that they will promote critical literacy skills, such as summarizing, synthezing and analyzing information.
I began searching the web today to find resources to learn about how podcasts are used in elementary classrooms. Here are a few websites I have found useful thus far:
