from OUTCAST to PODCAST
I thoroughly enjoyed Chapter 8 on podcasting and screencasting. I think that a school radio station would be an excellent was to have students share ideas. When I first read the chapter the first thought that came to mind was how students could possibly use both methods to do an ABR. How cool would students think it is to be “published”, but it might also take some of the nervousness away from having to stand up in front of a classroom of their peers. I think the thing I like most is how user-friendly they are, especially to adolescents. After looking through some of the podcasts listed on our agenda, the one like best, and found the most useful was Grammar Girl. Not only did I think this was a useful tool for students who may need clarification on something while doing a writing assignments, but it also helped me think of ideas for my final project in this class.
