Ideas:
This webpage is a fantastic source for [|all things podcasts]! They have everything from how to use a podcast in the classroom to how to make a podcast to some of the best educational podcasts of the year. One of the ways that this webpage suggests using podcasts in the classroom is for your auditory learners. If a teacher were to record their lessons, the auditory learners or students that need some extra time/instruction, could replay the lesson to a pat they missed.

This article gives a list of [|5 classroom uses for podcasts]. One way that this list encourages classroom use of podcasts is to engage parents. Students can create a podcast for a project and parents could view them online. This engages parents in what the student is learning.

Samples:
Here is a one minute lecture on Organized Snowmobiling. I used Audacity for this, and I am sorry I sound like a transformer (It's my computer microphone) I tried so many times to get it to download as an MP3. I downloaded all the necessary information and still could not get it to work. I put it in as is, but will try to fix it in class on Thursday. media type="file" key="Snowmobiling Podcast.wav" width="300" height="50" Here is a podcast using Voki. media type="custom" key="24578238"

Thoughts:
One way that I would like to use podcasts in my classroom is to have students record their books. The students will able to write, revise, and publish a book that they write. After that, the students will be able to record their book into a podcast. The purpose of this is so student can hear their voice record their own work. Students can gain the experience of creating a podcast and gain the feedback of hearing themselves read.
