Chapter 8

I like the possibilities that podcasting opens up. I wish that my school had something like the schools discussed, where "everyone" is already doing it. Right now I am thinking that the easiest way for me to ease into podcasting with my students is to have them do a summary, maybe once a week, of the major points that we have discussed in class. I may move it up to every day once I see it goes well so that students that miss a day can catch up more easily, and without taking a lot of class time. There was an example presented in Dr. Kajder’s class where the teacher had a scribe and this student was responsible for conveying the information covered in class on their blog…maybe I could start out having students write a summary of what happens in class, to be turned in via their folder, then after they get the idea of what kind of summary I want, moving into podcasts where they can actually record their summary (which will hopefully be more fun for them.)
