This week we discussed podcasting and its uses in foreign language classes. I really like this technology. I had no idea it would be so easy to use. I think that students might really enjoy using podcasts to practice listening and speaking skills.
I would love to incorporate podcasts into my elementary classrooms in the way that Bob Sprankle has done (http://www.bobsprankle.com/blog/). I think that making podcasts with young learners for their parents to listen to would be a very motivating activity. Students could share what they are learning and parents could possibly help them practice at home.
Also, I think that having students listen to native speakers podcasts on topics that they are studying could be useful. Students could listen to a native speaker sharing a recipe and then try to prepare the recipe.
In conclusion, I am happy to have learned about podcasting. Knowing how easy this technology is to implement I am very excited to use it in my classroom.
