In the reading Listening-Comprehension-Podcasting a second grade teacher by the name of Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano uses podcasting to teach her 2nd grade class another language. She explains how convenient a podcast is compared to a word processing program. She expresses how using podcasting help language learners understand the words better because they get to see, hear, read, and manipulate the words. I do agree that podcasting is a great way to teach new languages. It is more interesting and creative than the standard way of learning. It allows the learner to interact with the podcast and makes learning easier and interesting.
Silvia Tolisano encourages teachers to use podcasts in their classrooms. In her blog post Podcasting with First Grade she teaches first graders how to podcast. She expressed how excited the kids were to use podcasting as a way to listen to a book being read. She found that the students were happy and excited to record and arrange the script of the book. Silvia also mentioned how students who are usually quiet started coming out of their shells oncepodcasting was brought into the class room. From what I have read I think podcasting is a great idea for the classroom. It gets students out the habit of a "normal" classroom setting. It gets students excited and ready to learn!
The Benefits of Podcasting in the classroom
This video, The Benefits of Podcasting in the classroom, was posted by Joe Dale to state the benefits of podcasting in the classroom. This video demonstrates how convenient podcasting can be for students that may be absent from class. The video also mention student based learning. The approach to learning allows the student to be more involved. The video also says how podcasting allows room for "creativity and innovation".
I have really learned a lot from reading and watching the video on podcasting. I really enjoyed learning all the new information. Using podcasting in my future classroom will be something that I will possibly do.It has so many positives and allows students to get out of their comfort zone and is also beneficial to the students! I'm excited to learn more on this topic and even do my own podcast!
Hi Kayla! Great job on blog post #4. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on podcasting and some of the ideas you took away from the Langwitches blog. I particularly like how you said podcasting took kids out of the "normal" classroom setting, getting them excited and ready to learn. I had not thought of that component of podcasting before in regards to getting kids out of the daily classroom grind. Great post, keep up the good work!
