Podcasting in the Classroom/Library


A podcast is an online audio file that can be accessed by the public. The use of podcasts in the classroom/library will enhance learning.  It is very easy to create a podcast and students will enjoy doing it, not only because it will be something new for them, but also because they will learn something that will be of great use for the rest of their lives. Some ideas that come to my mind on how to use podcasts in the classroom and library are to create book talks, oral stories, literature circles, historical information, drama, pretend meet the author of a book, critiques about different subjects, science processes, biographies.  


I created a book read. I hope you like it and I had to do it with my children since it is summer and I don’t see my students during summer. This is something that your students will enjoy doing. 



I also want to share another podcast that I created for another class. This recording is about Joyce Valenza, a very important person in the Library Science. You can also use this tool to create biographies, just like I did.
