Below are excerpts from each group member’s summary on podcasting.
Excerpt from Paul Salvatore
When first beginning it would be smart to give the students more time then will be allowed in the future to get the student acclimated with all the programs and just getting the general idea of it all. Maybe even give them a partner so they can learn from each other and after a few times of that cut them loose and let them have fun with getting their voice out to the masses.
Excerpt from Paige Knorr
The positive aspects of podcasting include:
Students learn the technical skills needed to record a high-quality
podcast;
Students brainstorm; Students complete pre-production, production,
and post-production of their Podcast;
Students ultimately learn project management skills, Podcasting technical skills, and actively use the Podcast as a medium for positive student expression.
Excerpt from Myrianette Figueroa
Podcasts gives teachers many benefits of teaching their students how to create a podcast and the benefits of teaching them that they have a voice that people want to hear, that they have opinions.
Podcasts can be about any subject in any grade level. First graders can talk about the alphabet, while eleventh graders can talk about the importance of democracy. Students decide what subjects they want to talk about and as they go they learn an abundant amount of relevant information.
This is really an advantage for students as well as teachers. Students learn their material and teachers teach how they create and are satisfied with the students outcome. Its really so impressive to what technology can do.
Excerpt from Cassie Sanderson
Some teachers are using Podcasting as an alternative to student produced newspapers and television shows. Others are using the medium to reproduce lessons for absent students or for students to present oral presentations of reports and assignments.
Before reading this article I really didn't know what Podcast were. I had seen them on iTunes when using my iPod, but I did not know they were something that could be used in the classroom. This was a great article that Erin found and it taught me a lot about Podcast's and how they relate to the classroom!
Excerpt from Judy Hintz
The article by Nathan Shelley titled "Podcasting in the Classroom," summarizes podcasting as a method of communicating by using audio files and making them available to anyone who has access to the Internet. The podcast meets a NETS requirement for California.
Creating a podcast is easy. All that's required is a microphone, Garageband software (or similar), an RSS feeder, web space on the Internet, and iTunes (or similar).
Excerpt from Kimberly Davis
There are many good aspects on podcasting. Students can learn many things while working with podcasting such as:
Students learn the technical skills needed to record a high-quality
podcast.
Students brainstorm, and design the themes and content of their
Podcast with teacher guidance.
Students complete pre-production, production, and post-production of their Podcast.
Students ultimately learn project management skills, Podcasting technical skills, and actively use the Podcast as a medium for positive student expression.

I liked how you gave everyones comments on what they thought about podcasting. everyone had great comments to say and advantages of podcasting. However, i thought the blog could have been put together a bit different to make it more appealing. other then that i thought it was great :)
I thought everything looked good. It was interesting how you put everybody's responses to the summary on there, but I liked it. Also, everyone had great comments on all the advantages!
As Leah, I liked everyones comment because everyone had something different to contribute. I do think some pictures could of been added, and maybe a link or two.
Other than that, good job.
I like how you posted peoples comments on the advantages of podcasting. This kind of gives people some insight as to how they can use them or maybe help them think of something about podcasts that the didn't.
I liked how you put the link to the article at the beggining or your blog. The different perspectives added quality insight as well. Sweet!
Nice, article, I had not thought of it being useful for student that had been absent.
I like how you included the good aspects on podcasting. You listed many aspects such as brainstorming, management skills, technical skills, and podcasting with a teacher`s guidance. These are all good ways in which to use podcasting. By listing them in your blog, it even gave me new thoughts on how I can use podcating in the future.
It was nice to see everyones different perspectives. Its makes the blog more interesting.
