Podcasting in the classroom

I came across a great website about podcasting: http://www.det.wa.edu.au/education/cmis/eval/curriculum/ict/podcasts/

This site includes links to podcasting basics, how to podcast, and three main steps to creating a podcast.

The website also includes links to popular podcasts, including NASA podcasts. NASA has podcasts available that include news on the latest missions. Using the NASA podcasts in the classroom would help students experience space shuttle missions in a different way than a text book. Students can experience science as it is happening and see how relevant it is to their lives.

The link also offers examples of how teachers are using podcasts in the classroom. This is just a start to the ways podcasts can be used in the classroom.

I hope to learn more about podcasting and make my own in the future!!
