Podcasts
Podcasts can be used in many ways. There are different types of podcasts. Some can be video, and others can be audio. Podcasts can be radio shows that can be available to download and accessible at any time. The article, Podcasting in Education, relates different ways to use podcasts in education. Some ideas include lectures, communication with parents, student projects, and even professional development.
I was able to download all three Audioboom, Podmatic, and Soundcloud. For this assignment I used GarageBand.
GarageBand
Some of my students used GarageBand to practice their Reader's Theatre play. The students practiced their lines, and then they recorded themselves several times. I did notice they did better everytime. I think creating podcasts helped these students listen to themselves as they read. This helps them change their tone of voice while they are reading. The students in the podcast were 3rd graders practicing the Hare and the Tortoise. When it came time to sharing, I had to export it to Soundcloud because I wasn't able to share it.

I have used Soundcloud before for an assignment where I created an informational podcast on Joyce Valenza. In Soundcloud, you can create podcasts, listen to stations, audiobooks, with different categories such as comedy, entertainment, just to name a few. Podomatic is very similar as well with music, talk shows, and lists podcasts by popularity. Audioboom lets you create podcasts, listen to music, and when you sign up, you can select the categories that best interest you. It is also featured in Spanish with trending and latest podcasts.
Overall, I enjoyed using these apps, because I think students can have fun creating them. I noticed that the group of 3rd graders enjoyed using GarageBand. They recorded their podcast several times and had a blast every time.

The student podcast was so cute! You could tell they enjoyed it and had fun incorporating the sound effects. I think podcasts are extremely effective in allowing students to evaluate themselves. They can listen for what they need to work on in their wording, phrasing, or tone, and fix it quickly with another try. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing your students on your podcast. It is great to see that you are already using our new skills in your teaching. Great blog post!
