Judy Scharf Podcast Collection
This site gave a lot of useful information about podcast. She gave great ways to use podcast in the class and even gave grading criteria. I think that it is great to have a place like this site to go because it is a great resource for teachers that do not know that much about podcast and want to know more.
I think that podcast are a great way to put information out and make it convenient for people to see and learn. She had great ideas for useful ways to use podcast. Its such an interactive way for students and teachers to learn.

EPN
This site is a collaborative site that brings together many different sites. I think that this is such a great idea, it make podcast easy for teachers and anyone to access. This is a great example of technology and how much it can be used in the classroom and this site makes it easy to use podcast.
The easier it is for teachers and anybody to use the more it will be used. I hope that people can see that sites like these are out there and make it easy to use. This just only enforces that teachers have no excuse not to use technology in the classroom.

Podcast and More
This site gives many ways that students can use their ipods and podcast to study. This site give great ideas for studying tools like learning Spanish and even city guides. Their are endless possibilities to what can be done with podcast.
Studying is another great use for podcast. Students can upload these program onto their ipods and take them anywhere the need to. As teachers we should utilize these programs and use them to our benefit and come up with creative way to include them into our lessons and homework.

The benefits of podcasting in the classroom

I really realized how helpful podcasting could be by watching and reading this site. It really outlines the use of podcasting. Podcasting is so great for long distance learning. I never really thought about how useful it would be for parents also. They can see what their children are doing in the classroom.

Podcasting is a great way for students to get creative. We have seen in other videos how important it is for students to be able to express themselves in different ways and I thing that podcasting is a great way to do that.

Overall from reading and watching all these sites I learned that podcasting is very useful for teachers and students. It is such a great way to share information with a lot of people in a short amount of time. It is technology that can be taken anywhere.

Parents love to know what is going on in their children lives and podcasting is a great way to let them know what is going on. The studying tools that are available for students are endless and if teachers really use the information that is out there it could really make a difference in their classroom.

    You make a great point about how parents want to know what their children are doing in the classroom. Podcasting seems to be a great answer to letting parents know what is going on! We as teachers need to make a connection from the classroom to the home. Great job Hillery.
