Thoughts on "Podcasting in the Classroom"

Having students perform the dialogue as the voices of a novel seems to be a great motivator for literacy and subject content. When podcasts are project based, children use higher level thinking skills from Bloom's Taxonomy to prepare their presentation. As the Principal Christie Forrest of Douglas Wilder Middle School mentioned, podcasting offers "an opportunity for parents to communicate and see what's going on in the classroom. They have an actual audio clip of class work and parents always appreciate hearing about what's going on in the classroom." I appreciate that the creator of this vodcast included the addresses of tutorials where others could learn to produce podcasts.
