Podcasting

Podcast
1. This artifact is my podcast. It describes my teaching philosophy and some examples of lessons and ideas that I have for teaching my students.

2. I think that this artifact would be a great addition to any class. In social studies, students often have to spend long amounts of time reading or listening to lectures from teachers. A podcast would liven things up for the student and give them the opportunity to learn something within a different context and even listen to the background music as they learn.

3. In teaching, I would probably use a podcast in a couple of ways. Like I mentioned before, in place of students completing a reading or listening to a lecture I would record a podcast that they could listen to on thier ipod over the weekend. This would give them more freedom than they usually would have from a reading or a lecture and also allow them to listen to their ipod while doing so. I would also use a podcast if I wanted the whole class to listen to a lecture that needed to be done in a specific or memorable way. For example, if I was telling a story and I did not want to forget any parts of it, I could record it in advance. Then I could ensure that my students could hear the story exactly that way that I wanted them to and I would not risk messing a section up.
