After reading this article I can definitely see how something like Podcasting mixed with iTunes and people all around the world caring about it can be exciting for students to do. I can see how students would be engaged and wanting to do these types of projects and lessons. My only concern is that Podcasting is becoming obsolete in todays Technology world. Yet students in an Elementary or even Middle school might not care or even know about the popularity of podcasting.
One of the key aspects I enjoy about integrating Podcasting into a classroom is that it gives students a voice. Students want to be heard and listened to and Podcasts are the perfect tool to make that possible. From past experiences with younger cousins, my work at a daycare/Preschool and my observations in an Elementary school children just want to talk. So if children can talk about what they are learning in school that is like killing two birds with one stone. With podcasting and school all parties are happy and educated!
