POD CASTING

Education in the twenty-first century should focus on the development of authentic literacy skills for students. Learning to read, write, listen, speak, critically analyze information and communicate ideas using a variety of modalities is vital for children of all ages.One of the most basic and powerful ways to increase student motivation to write and communicate is to change student perceptions of audience.
I think Some students are motivated to write to please their teacher and earn a high grade, but that is not the case for everyone. Instead of asking students to write exclusively for an audience of one (the teacher) using technology from the mid 1500s (a pencil,) teachers can now challenge students to publish for a global listening audience via a classroom podcast.Thousands of podcasts are being published for both local and global audiences on a multitude of topics.
there are so many benefits of pod casting like
1. Podcasting is cheap
2. Podcasting invites a global audience
3. Podcasting is digital storytelling
4.Podcasting provides a window into the classroom
5.Podcasting can be creative
6.Podcasting can be fun
Classroom podcasts can provide engaging opportunities for students to develop desirable skills as digital storytellers and cutting-edge communicators. The price is right, and the benefits are plentiful.
