Podcasting...

Podcasting is defined as creating a digital audio file.

Now what exactly does that mean as an educator?  It means that you won't have to say the same thing --300 thousand times a day (that's a hyperbole).  Seriously,  podcasting can be a really useful tool.   I teach in a very mobile area.  Students move quite frequently.  Podcasting can be a way of bridging the gaps that some students come with.  

Just think, assignments and lessons can be pre-recorded.  Students will be able to hear your exact words--leading clarity.

Here are a few ways that I have used podcasting:

* explaination of content

* give instructions for projects

* parent instruction

* as part of a flipped classroom

* stations/centers
