Ideas on Podcasting use in Education

From http://www.terry-freedman.org.uk/artman/publish/article_610.php
This is not meant to be a definitive list!

• Record lessons for students (and parents!) to access in their own time.


• Enable students to do a presentation about themselves rather than only sticking to PowerPoint!


• Create a short introduction to your school, or the course you run, for potential to access, and to let parents know what they can expect their children to be doing -- get student contributions too!


• Create a class radio station.


• Enable students to submit work in the form of a podcast.


• Create audio resources for use by sight-impaired students.


• Find and use podcasts as part of project research materials.


• Use foreign language podcasts to improve linguistic skills.


• Use podcasts to get an insight into another country's culture, or another person's daily lifestyle.


• Enable students to create dynamic presentations without the complexity of digital video.


• Subscribe to various podcasts in different subjects in order to provide extra curriculum resources at virtually no cost.


• Provide students with a different way of carrying out surveys in the local area.


• Create an audio blog of a school field trip.


• Create an enhanced podcast entitled "My summer holiday".


• Subscribe or listen to different podcasts in order to help students develop their critical faculties.


• Ask students to create a podcast to meet a real need, as part of a coursework project, for example for a local business.
