Using Student Podcasts in Literature Classes | Academic Commons
Peter Schmidt instructor, Swarthmore College
-
This podcast project tied in very well to a literature course, because in addition to teaching students about particular works of fiction, the key
skill modeled when students quote and expand on each other's words is
that thinking about cultural works is a collaborative process that
happens in dialogue, not only in isolation. Cultural objects
(including novels) are not static; they circulate, they are events. We
may receive them privately, as when we read or work on a computer, but
the process is not complete until we take the next step, which is to
re-connect with others. We get ideas about interpretation from others,
improve them (we hope) on our own, then place these ideas back into the
cultural stream. -
Each podcast assignment consisted of a "podcast pair" (two podcasts); students made a five-minute reading of a passage from a novel, coupled with a five-minute discussion of that passage: why the student chose it, what details were most important, what themes and issues the passage raised, and how the passage related to the rest of the novel. These podcasts were posted on a server and all students in the class were required to listen to selected podcasts on what they were reading before coming to class discussions.

Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that teachers and students can use to send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other. Great for districts where twitter is blocked according to Cindy Kendall.
