Should I? Could I? Would I? Thoughts on Podcasting.

I would like to use podcasts in my math class. As I am sure everybody else is blogging, time is a factor. With the budget cuts shortening our year, I already feel behind and we are only two weeks into the school year! In brainstorming ideas on how to get around the time issue, perhaps all teachers on my team could teach about podcasting during advisory. That way we could all use it during our content without investing any time on the "how". I agree with the Pannell and Hutchinson that technology is a powerful tool. I liked how they talked about students using podcasting to present their ideas. I am concerned about using it instead of writing. They wrote, "podcasting can be especially fruitful for those students who struggle with writing." I think it can be a great way to form an understanding that they then write about.
