Podcasts

     There are so many ways that Podcasts can be used in the classroom and library. Students can create short radio broadcasts summarizing books they have read, teachers can create podcasts on homework and have students listen to them at home, or students can perform interviews and create podcasts of them. Technology has so much to offer to keep our classrooms and libraries exciting for our students.
     I first looked at Podomatic it was very easy to sign up for and it was free too. It gives you plenty of options of whom to follow. It was easy to upload and share your podcasts. It also gives you what's trending. It allows you up to fifteen GB per month.
    The next podcast service I looked at was Audioboom, this one was also easy to register for, but they are very exclusive of whom they choose to broadcast. It also offers plenty of channels to follow.     The last one I looked at was Soundcloud which is the one I chose to broadcast my podcast. It was very easy to register for and record. I found this one to be the easiest to one to record on compared to the other two services I looked at. I decided to create my podcast on a read aloud. It is a great way to have students listen to read alouds. Teachers can create a channel where students can listen to a read aloud on a weekly basis. I created the following one.

  1. Oh, my gosh! I can have several teachers do read a lounds and have a little listening station. I can even invite the principal to participate. You gave me a great idea. By the way, I love Pete the Cat!

  2. Using read-alouds in podcasts is a great idea! Kids can listen to the story as many times as they want, and they can follow along with the book. Kids love being read to.
