Podcasting

As we move into a new world of agriculture, technology, I found a blog post about Podcasting in the classroom. They offered some of these suggestions including one with an e-moment:

- My teaching partner does a mini-summary of each chapter or unit where he outlines the major concepts to help students prepare for his tests. (He was not sure if they would be used or not, and was surprised when he found a student with all of them saved on a video iPod reviewing for the semester final).

- Record instructions for the class on a day you have a sub. (Sometimes it helps for the kids to hear you give the instructions).

- Have students record presentations for practice: Creed, Speeches, Sales Presentations, Job Interview, Reasons, etc.

- Have your FFA Officers record a "This Week in FFA" mini spot or updates to podcast out to your membership

- For e-moment users - you could have a tech version of the "eye-witness moment" or "bob the weather guy".

- Using a program called "profcast" www.profcast.com (makes a podcast
that records your voice over a powerpoint presentation), I have made
some review podcasts for an upcoming biology test. Students could
download them or watch them on my website made with iWeb.
