Benefits of podcasting for students
· Listen to past lectures / review for tests.
· Improve grades.
· Audio would allow better understanding than reading the PowerPoint slides
or worksheets.
· Remediation or clarification.
· Second chance to hear the information due to the speed the teacher speaks
or students inability to keep up while taking notes.
· When absent, audio would be better than trying to decipher a classmates
notes.
· It’s mobile and on demand.

Uses of podcasting in schools
By Terry Freedman
This is not meant to be a definitive list!
· Record lessons for students (and parents!) to access in their own time.
· Enable students to do a presentation about themselves rather than only
sticking to PowerPoint!
· Create a short introduction to your school, or the course you run, for
potential students to access, and to let parents know what they can expect
their children to be doing – get student contributions too!
· Create a class or even a whole-school radio station.
· Enable students to submit work in the form of a podcast.
· Create audio resources for use by sight-impaired students.
· Find and use podcasts as part of project research materials.
· Use foreign language podcasts to improve linguistic skills.
· Use podcasts to get an insight into another country's culture, or another
person’s daily lifestyle.
· Enable students to create dynamic presentations without the complexity of
digital video.
· Subscribe to various podcasts in different subjects in order to provide extra
resources.
· Provide students with a different way of carrying out surveys in the local
area.
· Create an audio blog of a school field trip.
· Create an enhanced podcast entitled “My summer holiday”.
· Subscribe or listen to different podcasts in order to help students develop
their critical faculties.
· Ask students to create a podcast to meet a real need, as part of a
coursework project.

Web 2.0 link

online presentation on Web 2.0 and classroom implementation of RSS, blogs, wikis, pod/vodcasting, social bookmarking & networking, E-portfolios, and E-learning 2.0

Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry
caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an
attempt to understand the rules for success on that new
platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications
that harness network effects to get better the more people use
them. (This is what I've elsewhere called "harnessing collective
intelligence)
/O'Reilly Radar definition updated October 2006

Web 2.0 is about the more human aspects of interactivity. It's
about conversations, interpersonal networking, personalization,
and individualism... In Web 2.0, information flows in multiple
directions, is user-generated, and is shared widely.
