Thing 15: Podcasting and Bookmarks
Podcasts are something that have become very popular in the past few years. I have downloaded a few podcasts before of interviews, and I have downloaded music collaboration podcasts on iTunes. I have also read about teachers using podcasts in their classrooms for homework assignments. I have come up with the idea to use a blog in my classroom for parents as a weekly newsletter, and I think I could use podcasts on the blog and upload the children singing our classroom songs so the parents could hear the songs they are learning, and I could upload other podcasts of me talking and giving the parents tips about how to help their children if they are having trouble in certain areas. I could also link them to other podcasts that could be helpful at home, and if they are interested then they can download those.
When I explored the Texas Education on iTunes U I found some great podcasts for Teachers that give resources for different lesson ideas, articles, and even educational videos I could play in the classroom. I even downloaded an audio podcast called, "Children's Thinking in Measurement." I will definitely continue to explore the Texas Education podcasts, and I think that they are a great resource for teachers.
