Integrating ICT into the MFL Classroom is a video that discusses the ways in which podcasts in the classroom can open new windows for students and teachers. The most obvious benefit is keeping students up to date on classes that they miss. This is something I would really like to incorporate into my classroom either through podcasts or blogging or some combination of both. I think some types of these dramatic readings could definitely help build up excitement for reading among students. Getting students engaged in books can be a difficult task, and having them read aloud and listen to recorded podcasts could really be a good way to create excitement for literature.
The
Curriki Blog is an extremely useful tool for podcasting. It is basically a reference page for everything someone interested in creating a podcast would need. The blog is very detailed in providing information on creating the podcast and also uploading it to iTunes. This is a blog I will be revisiting as the day for our group's podcast approaches.
The Langwitches Blog is a blog that details a number of different approaches to using technology in the classroom. They have specific podcast assignments that are great for younger students.
Interesting. The Langwitches Blog is one of my all time favorites. I subscribe to it with an RSS feed.
