I really hope that my students enjoy creating podcasts!! I have thought about a couple of different lesson where I would like them to create their own. For example, after completing an independent novel they could create a podcast focusing on a particular aspect of the novel, characterization, setting, climax, etc. Create the podcast and then post to a class wiki for all to listen!
I would imagine that my students would love listening to podcasts, I am sure that some of them already do on their own time!
A couple I would use in the classroom would be:
Poetry Foundation
Podictionary
One Minute Vocab-Princeton Review
Grammar Girl
On a personal level I would subscribe to podcasts about cooking, design, kids, health, etc. The list is endless!! A couple that I enjoy...
cooking: Jamie Oliver
design:Etsy
knitting:Never Not Knitting
I could go on forever but I will not bore you with all of my wacky hobbies!

There is no doubt that students will like podcasts. I think many students listen to them on their own. May not be as cool as listening to music. But many students today are very technoloigically literate and have the desire to learn in many different ways. The cooking site is one I might listen too. I like to cook and will try different things. Usually have to discuss with my wife first. If you read my blog you will see the true meaning of "boring you with my habits." I have posted several blogs about gardening and golfing.
ReplyDeleteI thought Grammar Girl was great. I think everyone could find a use for it especially with the emphasis on improving writing and MME scores this year.
