POdcast in the Classroom

AS the demands grow to reach all our students in every level to decrease the educational gap in and out of the classroom Podcast are another useful tool used to reach all your students. I can agree with the article in which podcast are used in several settings to teach an audience in tourist attractions, entertainment, library research and other creative ways to reach the audience. In education I always thought listening to podcast were for audio deficit students who needed extra help in understanding but this project helped me understand that as a teacher podcast can help give students or substitutes  guided directions to do assignments correctly  in which they can repeat directions as needed, can give a student's a sense of personal teaching that can block all unwanted noise in the classroom an let he or she focus on the task at hand, and can help with team teaching in delivering a task that can be played in several classes at the same time without the other teacher being there. The article also outlined several great benefits that included the time shifting  ability which I found helpful myself. Overall I believe Podcast can give students and teachers a better learning environment.
