Podcasts
I explored Grammar Girl when exploring podcast this week Grammar Girl is a podcast that works on daily grammar. The podcasts was created to help with common grammar mistakes when communicating. The podcast is a great tool to help with writing in and out of the classroom I also explored TEDTalks Education and I found a link that took me to Ted Radio Hour. The TEDTalk podcast teach educators about new approaches and gives them more options on ways to approach everyday situations in education so that the students benefit more from the situation.
Podcast can help support students with different learning needs. This means teacher can use podcast to help with differentiation in their classrooms. Podcast are a great tool for auditory learners and who may need auditory support. The podcast can give some students the opportunity to listen to the same information multiple times if needed. If a student is absent or behind podcast could be used for children to catch up on work. Podcast could also be used as a center. In that center the student could be getting receiving a lesson without the teacher physically being in front of them. Podcast give students the opportunity to show their understanding of a standard by producing a video or audio product to share with their peers and their teacher.
