Teaching Guide
Do you want to add more technology in your classroom? Do you know what podcasting is? Is podcasting right for your classroom? This curriculum web will help you decide if you think podcasting is for you and your classroom. This
curriculum web aims to help teachers become familiar with what
podcasting is, how to make a podcast and if they want to implement podcasting into their
curriculum. I think teachers should try to keep up with the ever changing technology in todays world. I believe that using technology in the classroom helps keep our students actively involved. I would like to provide a simple and effective way to educate teachers on podcasting. After teachers understand what podcasting it, I want the teacher to decide if implementing podcasting into their curriculum is a good fit or not. I
want learners to understand the basics behind
podcasting. The learner will be able to understand the processes
involved in the production of a podcast. This
curriculum web is designed for teachers who are interested
in learning more about podcasting, what it is and how
to make
one.

Learners will complete each activity one at a time to learn more about podcasting. Once they have completed the three activity they will move on to the culminating activity to create a final project.

The learner will also self-assess their learning based on completing a project on their own. Learners will also decide whether or not podcasting is right for their classroom by reading articles about podcasting in education, and viewing examples of school created podcasts. Learners may also provide feedback to the author using the feedback form given. My resources are listed here.
