After researching a few websites, I found Podcasts to be useful in the class or the library for book reviews, reviewing objectives, newscasts,to tell a story, conduct interviews and much more. One really good examples I found was CNN Student News . It is a daily Podcast combining past and present news headlines that could be used on a daily basis for students to be aware of the world around them. This could be used in a Social Studies class tying in current events or in a writing class to write about their opinions on the topic.
When composing my first Podcast below I found that there was a lot of preparation that involved planning a topic, writing a script, fluency, intonation, and practice. This preparation coincides with reading and writing TEKS that students must master but now it has meaning and its fun.
