Instead of asking students to write exclusively for an audience of one (the
teacher) using technology from the mid 1500s (a pencil,) teachers can now
challenge students to publish for a global listening audience via a classroom
podcast -
a podcast is “a web feed of audio files (although increasingly people are
applying the term to video and other media) that is placed on the Internet for
anyone to download. It's usually possible to download the files directly from
the website - 22 more annotations...
-
-
however, special programs called podcatchers exist that let users subscribe to
podcasts in order to automatically download and store the media files for later
playback.” -
Two excellent places to find classroom podcasts are the Education Podcast
Network (http://epnweb.org) and the podcast
directory within the iTunes Music Store. iTunes is free software available
for both Windows and Macintosh computers (www.apple.com/itunes). -
BENEFITS OF CLASSROOM PODCASTING
-
Podcasting is cheap
-
microphone is the only piece of required hardware or software some classrooms
may not have already that isn’t free. Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) is a
powerful, cross-platform and open-source audio editing software program ideally
suited for classroom podcasting -
Podcasting invites a global audience
-
The potential of publishing for a global audience is precisely the
characteristic of podcasts which gives them so much motivational power for
student writing, however -
Students can get very fired up when they realize other people besides their
classroom teacher are listening to and responding to the ideas they are sharing
via a classroom podcast. -
Audio podcasting encourages no-frills communication
-
podcast “feeds” can be used to distribute different types of files, including
videos. Audio podcasting, however, encourages students to communicate without
many of the bells and whistles that often accompany other types of multimedia
modalities -
4. Podcasting is digital storytelling
-
Podcasting provides a window into the classroom
-
Both teachers and students can utilize classroom podcasts to share the successes
and challenges of their educational exploits with each other and a broader
community. This process of sharing can not only enhance the motivation of
student podcasters to communicate eloquently and effectively -
Podcasting involves few privacy concerns
-
Students speaking during a podcast do not have to identify themselves by name at
all, but if they do they can use only their first name. Images of students are
not included in podcasts (unless intentionally added later as an “enhanced
podcast”), so privacy objections from parents should be minimal -
Podcasting can educate about copyright
-
A diverse array of copyright-friendly music files are available from sources
like the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com) and FreePlayMusic
(www.freeplaymusic.com) which can be
legally used in classroom podcasts -
Podcasting can be interactive
-
We are living in the era of web 2.0, or the read/write web. The essence of web
2.0 is interactivity. Podcasters can realize the benefits and excitement
inherent in interactive web 2.0 dialog by permitting individuals to send email
to a class podcast address (controlled by the teacher) or by leaving comments on
a class podcast blog feed. These comments can be moderated by the teacher, so
inappropriate comments or spam are not visible to either students or web
visitors -

Podcasting can be creative
-
Podcasting can be a creative outlet for students and teachers alike to express
ideas, share perceptions, and even show off intellectually.

One of the most basic and powerful ways to increase student motivation to write and communicate is to change student perceptions of audience. Some students are motivated to write to please their teacher and earn a high grade, but that is not the case for everyone. Instead of asking students to write exclusively for an audience of one (the teacher) using technology from the mid 1500s (a pencil,) teachers can now challenge students to publish for a global listening audience via a classroom podcast. This article provides an overview of the benefits of classroom podcasting and showcases several exemplary classroom podcasts teachers and students can use as models when creating their own.

odcasts can provide a virtual “window” into schools, permitting a variety of interested stakeholders to gain an in-depth understanding of the issues students are studying, the new things they are learning, and the evidences of learning (student projects) they are creating as a result of their work both at home and at school.

Education in the twenty-first century should focus on the development of authentic literacy skills for students. Learning to read, write, listen, speak, critically analyze information and communicate ideas using a variety of modalities is vital for children of all ages. Some of the most frequent complaints of writing teachers, however, revolve around a lack of student motivation to write. How can teachers increase students’ desire to express themselves effectively and appropriately?
