| What is a podcast? A podcast is a multimedia file that is distributed over the Internet for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. It can be an audio file or a video file.
Have you made any podcasts? Visit my weblog to hear my first podcast. This podcast is a dramatic reading of a poem that touched my heart when I was young. It was quite popular at one point in time. Many could recite every verse by heart. Here I recite only one verse, but it is certainly the most poignant.
How could I use it in my classroom? There are many ways that you could use a podcast in your classroom. You could have students produce podcasts instead of a classroom presentation. Students could "interview" other students for a podcast, or they could read poetry for their podcast. Math students could produce a sports show with a statistics emphasis, an episode of a show like Square One, or even a drama that has math themes like Mathnet from Square One.
