Podcasts
Have you ever tried a podcast? What about a vodcast?
Podcasts are digital audio files found over the internet, which can be downloaded to a mobile device or media player for listening. A vodcast is similar but is video format. Two other points to consider is that is must be episodic and syndicated over RSS feed.
What can you do with podcasts or vodcasts?
Students would love to listen or view the content in relation to your activity.
Creating podcasts are a bit trickier, but if anyone is interested, you can notify me.
How does this benefit my students in the class?
It is one way you can target the ELPS.
Where do I find podcasts?
