Benefits of using a Podcast




The other day, a teacher who was absent in the English Department, said she left a pod cast of her lesson. All the sub had to do was play it. What a great idea if you know you are going to out and want to continue your lesson. It was also posted on her E-chalk page with other podcasts so students can go back and review notes.  This is a  great tool for students who are absent. I save my notes on the smartboard for absent students, but to have both, would be very helpful and keep students up to date.
Also, this is a way to share with parents what students are doing in class and review classroom work with their son or daughter.  Parents are able to witness the transition from the traditional classroom they experienced a fun, unique and stimulating method to teach, learn and communicate. This valuable tool  has many possibilities to share learning materials with a vast audience.
