I chose the view the link http://langwithces.org/blog/category/podcasting. I really enjoyed the article on "Reflections of Podcast Project." This means that teachers, students and ourselves should reflect a moment on what we have created. The article addressed giving students reasons for completing projects. Certainly, all projects should be age appropriate. It addressed emphasising to students that they will be the "voice" going into the ears of others. It also addressed that technology tools seems to take the least amount of time and effort for students to learn. Technology tools help students by reinforcing and practicing academic skills. Through technology, some students will come to realize that they have the personality for radio. The article spoke on the importance of encouraging students to take their time when recording for podcast. It should be clear and connect to subject matter. They should simply rush to "get it done".
I also viewed the link on podcasting with third graders. They were studying endangered animals in their area as a part of their science curriculum. Students were encouraged to not only research the subject matter, but become experts about what they were studying. Then, take their knowledge and share it with others around the world by podcasting. What a fun way for students to learn! Just knowing they are going to "teach" something to other kids is a strong motivation for them to get involved and strive to do their very best! In this, they are completing research skills, communications skills and oral fluency.
