Podcasts. I first thing I saw in the video was a lot of kids using i-pods and other devices, we do not allow any of these in our school. It just seems funny that we elimated the i-pods and we are now considering having every student use a lap top.
I already use podcasts in my teaching, but I do not produce any at this time. I think it would be cool if I could put homework and major talking points on a website that woudl automatically be pushed to a students pod catcher. (no excueses about having forgot the assigement) I guess there would just be NEW excuses, my battery died, it was charing, my parents too away my phone so I couldn't do my homework.
I don't know about the value of using them while in school, other than as a shared activity. I worked for several years a t getting the students to talk with each other about the classroom activities and not just hide away in their devices.
later
