Thing #22 (Podcasts: No iPod Needed)

The podcast that I listened to was the Discovery Health channel podcast with Dr. Oz called the Truth about Food. I watch the Dr. Oz show every once in awhile because he provides a lot of useful information about being healthy and other health related topics. I just find health topics interesting because there is always something about the topic that you did not know before. I did subscribe to the Discovery Health channel podcast that I will listen to regularly. I want to listen to podcast that I know will be giving me the right information and Discovery Health is a podcast that I believe would give me the facts.

All the directories to find podcast where pretty simple to use but I do like the Learn out Loud directory the best. I just like that directory because I found a lot of podcast that have topics that I am interested in. The Learn out Loud site also has a lot of educational material that can be used in the classroom.

I think podcast would be a great tool to use in the classroom. I think students would enjoy not only listening to podcast but also creating podcast. Children like to do a lot of hands on activities that allows them to learn and creating a podcast about a certain subject would be a great educational project. I also like the fact that students can share the podcast with other students or even there family members to show what they have learned.
