The two podcasts I listened to were from Coleycast and Willowcast. One podcast was on volcanos and the other on the human body. The podcasts were a culmination of the students' research work on their specific topic. Definitions were explained, as well as "did you know?" facts. Each member of the group participated in the podcast.
I am in the business education field. I believe that podcasts will be useful in my classroom. The students can learn to create their own podcasts. There would be a wide variety of material they could research to include in their podcast. Examples that could be used include the history of computers, occupations, or creating a marketing plan. I also feel that podcasts could be used as part of instruction when presenting new material. Using podcasts would create variety in the method of instruction delivery. They would also bring new ideas from various sources into the classroom.
