Thing 22

Podcast for: Romeo and Juliet

After Fall Break, my freshman students will begin reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  So when I was browsing through English Language Arts Podcasts through The Education Podcast Network, I was immediately drawn to the Shakespeare podcasts (especially the one linked to above for R & J ).

I found the Education Podcast Network especially easy to use.  I started my search with literature in mind and before I knew it I had found a list of great podcasts that relate to literature.  I could find my way around the site easily and did not get lost or have to ask myself how to get back to something I was interested in.

I would definitely consider podcasting with students.  As I have mentioned in a previous blog, some of my classes have current event reports and that always spurs on discussion.  A podcast would be a great tool to host discussions.  A class podcast would be a great tool to reach a student who has missed one or more class periods.

I subscribe to several personal interest podcasts from speakers that live in other states.  I will now add to my list some podcasts for educational support in my content area.
