Podcasts- I love podcasts. I discovered them about a year ago and have several that I listen to regularly and eagerly awaiting each week for another installment. I've wanted to figure out how to create podcasts in my class. I love listening to Stuff You Should Know. (It is already added to my Google Reader.) I love how Josh and Chuck research the same topic, then sit down and have a conversation, sharing what they have learn. And I always learn a ton. I believe by just listening to my students hold a solid conversation about a topic, I could learn who understands what about that topic. We tried it with the first English colonies.
Please note this was our first try and we learned a lot. I would like my students to listen to a TON more examples of podcasts and to try and learn how be more relaxed. Of course, I am not sure I would be more relaxed if it were me being recored. It sure was fun, though, and my students loved listening to them at home.
