Podcast/videocast is a great classroom tool. Students can watch short videos on specific topics and listen to short discussions on various educational materials. Teachers can also use these resources to expand their knowledge on certain topics and get a different vantage point. Students and teachers are able to connect with others locally and internationally by listening or watching these casts. You can also add these to Powerpoints to enhance a lesson plan.
Prerecorded podcasts also have uses for distance learning and absent students. When a teacher records a lecture or class discussion, that podcast can be made available to an absent student or to the class as a whole to listen to and critique later. It can also be posted with a podcast source for other students or teachers to use. In all cases, the podcast can be made available through a web site or transferred to mobile listening devices for students and teachers to listen to outside of the classroom.
