What+did+I+learn+today?


 * I am really excited about discovering podcasts and how to create one, but I am really excited about actually using them for my classes next year. In the podcast I created I spoke about the concern that I had when students who were showing a great grasp on the subject matter while in class would be the very same ones who couldn’t perform well on a simple assessment the very next day in class. A great, easy, and free tool to use is a podcast. With a podcast, a teacher can record himself reading the text while also translating and clarifying the lesson of that day. The teacher can then upload the link to the class website making this review podcast available for any student who needs it, thereby allowing them the ability to review the lesson at the convenience of their own home. I am really looking forward to using this tool in my classes next year. **
