Thing 18: Podcasting

I have actually participated in podcasting before. I once viewed a professional development workshop via a podcast. This was great, because I could watch the presentation when it was convenient for me. I could also stop the presentation, go back and take notes as I went along. I enjoyed exploring the podcasts in the links that were provided. I found a few in particular interesting. For example, I have a SMARTBoard in my classroom, and I am always looking for new ways to use it. I liked the SMARTBoard tutorial podcasts like this one found on the Educational Podcast Directory. I also liked the Dictionary.com podcast Word Explorer under Podcast.com. I think it was neat how they explained various literary devices. I could see this being used in a Language Arts class. I also liked the podcast Things You Should Know. I think some of these podcasts would be fun to show in a Science class.
