Podcasting

I haven't kept up with this site for awhile since my class ended. But I don't want to lose this site since I think it might be useful for other media teachers.

If you don't know what podcasting is, here is a short video describing it. I think most teachers can use podcasting in their curriculum, whether they share their lessons via podcasts or have their student create podcasts of content. I love listening to This American Life, which I get free everyweek on iTunes. Many of the stories are useful in my English classes. Grammar Girl, also available free from iTunes, is a great way to teach grammar principles. I will use these podcasts in class, then have my own students create grammar podcasts in the same vein.

Here is the intro to podcasting I promised:


I wish I could figure out how to post podcasts on this site. I have a memoir I would like to share. If you can help me with this problem, please contact me!
