What is a Podcast? According to Merriam Webster Online
Dictionary,
a Podcast is ‘a program (as of music or talk)
made available in digital format for automatic download over the Internet’. Podcasts
provide both access to information, as well as disseminating knowledge in a
variety of ways to help different learner types. In particular, auditory
learners benefit greatly from the use of podcasts in the classroom.
There is great potential to incorporate podcasts into the
classroom and not just in the form of the teacher disseminating information via
them. Students could also be asked to create their own podcast for an
assessment pieces. For instance, in junior home economics, students could be
asked to create a podcast on incorporating healthy eating into their meals.
This scaffolding allows the students to become self directed learners, as they
design their own podcast, using their own creativity. Students will research to
gather information to put in the podcast. Students will then share their podcasts
with the rest of the class and also the rest of the world. Thus, a network is
created as students share their knowledge.
