Podcasts as an Instructional Tool

Podcasting has exciting potential in education that is just now being explored. On this week's podcast, we're going to talk about some ideas for podcasting as an instructional tool.

Most references and links are contained in our collaborative blog, On The Cutting Edge-ucation. However, there are a couple of additional links I can leave you with.

George Mayo’s 6th grade students at Brandon Middle School :

• •publish an online magazine that consists of student blogs;
• •podcast shows that highlights those blogs.

We've got a couple of fun clips of the students podcasting that you'll definitely want to hear!

Also on the show, I'm going to talk about EduCasters.net, the new site that Steve Dembo is cooking up to help educational podcasters!!

Finally, if you have an idea, brainstorm, thought, or activity that integrates podcasting into instruction, please email me and I'll send out an invitation for you to join the On The Cutting Edge-ucation blog so you can post your ideas. Of course your comments are always welcome either way.
