Podcast

After reviewing several podcasts on iTunes, I discovered that all podcasts have a few things in common yet are all different. They are all informative, organized and enthusiastic. I love how all podcasts bring something else to the table. The information provided on each one is unique to the podcast.

They are organized in sections, and they are easier to pay attention to because instead of listening to a straight lecture you get to listen to more of a conversation. These are great tools for the classroom because it will catch the students' attention.

The information provided is well thought out and researched. After all, these are used in classroom settings, and we want our students to learn the actual truth not just "hear say". A good podcast not only gives you an informative lesson, but it also gives the complete story. It will leave little room to question that you have been taught.

The enthusiasm that teachers and students bring to the table in podcasts creates a fun learning environment. the listener should be able to feel the passion that is felt by the speaker for different topics. That passion is contagious. It also makes it that much more interesting to listen to their views.
