I've known for awhile what podcasts are, but never really taken the time to listen to one. Creating a podcast is much more time consuming than the time it takes to listen to one. In class I felt some of the podcasts were funny, the funnier the podcast the less it gave information about the topic (or so it seemed to me). I think some of my students would have a lot of fun with podcasts, but it would be quite a lengthy process to encourage students to write a complete script. Most students would want to record "on the fly".
I found this website: http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/ict/podcasting.htm . It has some really helpful ideas for using podcasting in the classroom.
As stated on the website, there are many student benefits to podcasting. From a 3rd grade teacher's perspective it gives the students an opportunity to review previously taught concepts, practice fluency, and hopefully have a bit of fun!
