]]> Comment on Just a few thoughts on using a Podcast by mrsmac279 http://stephen78.edublogs.org/2008/02/05/just-a-few-thoughts-on-using-a-podcast/comment-page-1/#comment-4 mrsmac279 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:40:04 +0000 http://stephen78.edublogs.org/2008/02/05/just-a-few-thoughts-on-using-a-podcast/#comment-4 Stephen, i agree. The noise factor is quite distracting, however majority of schools have one or two computers in the classroom mostly situated in a quite area, or the school has a portable computer lab or lap top computers that can be transfered from room to room. If such technology permits, students could record their podcasts 2 at a time while the class completes other activities. This would aleviate noise issues. I also think that podcast are not only a great tool for shy students but that they would be extremely beneficial for ESL students. It would provide them with speaking and listening tasks that are scaffolded and supported and would allow an opportunity to speak and practice their English without the stress of an audience. Teachers could also use these podcasts as reference for assessment and reflection of achievement for all class students, especially ESL children. Stephen, i agree.
