Learn how to bring the benefits of podcasting to your classroom
You’ve likely heard of podcasting by now. Countless universities, colleges and K-12 classes worldwide are using the technology to deliver recorded lectures, news and information to students. In fact, nothing has had a greater impact on students since the invention of the paddle. OK, I kid, but I'm also making a point here—podcasting has taken education by storm, and the technology cannot be ignored.
Why podcast in education?
The results of internal evaluations of pilot podcasting programs by universities including Duke* and the University of Washington* (UW) have encouraged these institutions to expand their podcasting programs. Duke faculty reported greater student engagement and interest in class discussions, field research and independent projects incorporating the use of iPods. UW faculty noted that students are less likely to drop podcasted courses because the recordings help them to keep up with the material. Additional observed benefits include increased class enthusiasm (especially when the students are involved in the project) and stronger student evaluations of courses.
It's easy to get started podcasting in the classroom
So, how can you bring the benefits of podcasting to your students? PoducateMe features a comprehensive podcasting guide that reveals exactly how it’s done. The entire PoducateMe Podcasting Guide can be read online and free of charge.
The PoducateMe Podcasting Guide takes the mystery out of:
* How to find and download podcasts
* How to select appropriate podcasting equipment and software
* How to record, edit and polish your podcast
* How to create an "enhanced" podcast containing links and graphics
* How to upload your podcast to the Internet
* How to create a podcast blog
* How to share podcasts with your students
* Much more!
So, what are you waiting for? Check out the PoducateMe Podcasting Guide today and start engaging your students tomorrow.

It goes way beyond books.
From lectures and slideshows to tours and interviews, podcasting engages students in ways the printed page can’t. And podcasts can be easily supplemented with other downloadable content such as notes, references, and links to related resources.
It moves with your students.
Podcasts can be played on any Mac, PC, iPod, or iPhone. So anywhere your students are (library, bus stop, cafe—even the gym) can be a place for learning.

It changes the classroom.
When students know that their lectures will be available to them as podcasts, they’re liberated from heads-down note taking. They can focus more on what’s being discussed in class, ask questions, and be more engaged.
It keeps you current.
Students today live a mobile life and expect constant access to information. Podcasting helps your institution stay in tune with their lifestyles. It also reinforces your reputation as a school that’s technologically savvy and committed to providing a leading-edge learning environment.

Camilla Gagliolo helps her students at Jamestown Elementary School in Arlington, Va., edit their voice recordings into podcasts — online radio shows that can be downloaded to an iPod.

WASHINGTON — At some schools, the rules are clear: Kids can listen to downloaded music on portable players, but once they're inside, iPods and other learning distractions must be stowed in backpacks or lockers and kept there.
At Jamestown Elementary School in Arlington, Va., Camilla Gagliolo took another approach. Rather than fighting the fad, she is capitalizing on it by giving students iPods and re-imagining them as a learning tool.
"It just makes so much sense. They are so drawn to this technology. They are so excited by it. They're comfortable with it," said Gagliolo, the school's technology coordinator.
Using little more than an iPod and a school computer, Gagliolo and her students have been making podcasts — online radio shows that can be downloaded to an iPod or other portable MP3 player. Avidly discussing their favorite iPod colors and models while they made recordings of their poems and book reports the other day, the fifth-graders bubbled with ideas for future subjects.
"We could read parts of books, to show why we like them. We could do interviews. If there's a field trip, we could make a recording of it and post it," said Mohamed El-Sayed, 10. "Kids anywhere will like to hear about us."
Podcasting is just one of the interactive technologies, like blogging and handheld computers, being used to motivate students nationwide. It took off across the country last year, an offshoot of the surging popularity of iPods. A survey of 470 high-school students released this month by analysts with Piper Jaffray & Co. found that 61 percent of students had some kind of MP3 player, up from 40 percent in their spring survey.
"This is the kind of technology they use for their daily lives. If schools want to reach today's learners, they can't ignore it," said Don Knezek, chief executive of the International Society for Technology in Education, based in Washington, D.C., and Eugene, Ore.
In a private school near Detroit, middle-schoolers podcast performances of student-composed musical works. From East Oakland, Calif., high-schoolers paint an audio portrait, in English and Spanish, of their troubled community: "It's hard to see someone die in front of you." Gunston Middle School, in Arlington, has a cheeky student-made podcast that includes poetic commentary on Virginia's standardized testing: "SOLs are not your friends; they'll bring your life to an end."
Teachers say the benefits of making podcasts are clear: The trendy technology and the possibility of a wider audience motivate students.
"My students research better, read more, write better and understand the material," said Beth Sanborn, a fifth-grade teacher at Willowdale Elementary School, near Omaha, Neb., where students have been making podcasts since last spring.

Podcasts at the school — on such topics as the Constitution, Native Americans and electricity — are not only filled with kid humor and snappy music, but they are also loaded with facts. Teachers hope they'll be used as supplementary curriculum material by future students.
"We want our podcasts to be timeless," said Tony Vincent, technology specialist at Willowdale. "We want teachers to play them for their classes."
To make a podcast on the Revolutionary War, Sanborn had her students spend a couple of weeks researching their material in books and on the Internet before shaping it into a script. They were graded on the written script, but what really motivated them, Sanborn said, was the hope that their work would be chosen for the 8 ½-minute podcast.
For the time-travel feature, another performed as a town crier, condemning King George's tyranny. Sanborn was especially impressed with the way they came up with their own jokes on such topics as the Constitution.
"You really have to understand the material to figure out a joke about it," she said.
Teachers are also finding other uses for portable music players in the classroom. In Carrollton, Texas, kindergartners are taking loaner iPods home to practice their vocabulary words, and English as a Second Language students are using them to practice English.
Podcasting, it turns out, is also well-suited for keeping busy parents in touch with the world their children inhabit all day at school. All they have to do is program their computers to capture the broadcasts — which could range from school announcements to plays to basketball games — and they can listen to them on their desktop computer or download them to a portable player.
"This idea is so great. I can hear what my daughter is doing and we can tell her grandparents, and they can hear it where they are," said Alison Pascale, whose daughter Kalyn McNulty, 10, is one of the Jamestown podcasters.
Gagliolo has found the technology easy to master and "simpler and cheaper" than making student videos. For most of the recordings she and a half-dozen students made at a recent session, they used a $40 snap-on microphone accessory, plugged into the school's iPod.
The toughest part was getting the best possible sound quality from the youngsters, which sometimes meant doing it over and over. Dalai Saruul, 10, spoke in a whisper when he first read his poem: "Calibur stands 1 foot, 1 inch. He is said to be tall for his age. He is as strong as a rhinoceros beetle and is a kung fu master ... "
"You have to speak up," said Mohamed, holding the microphone out to Dalai. "Quiet on the set!" Kalyn yelled. After a few takes, Dalai's voice grew stronger.
Finally, the students learned how to edit on the computer. And with a few clicks of their mouse, they made Dalai's voice stronger still.
