This blog by Langwitches helped me to see that technologic skills such as podcasting offer many benefits to my future students. It helped me to realize that podcasting is more than just podcasting for students. I never knew that it could be so beneficial to students. Or at least I never thought about it.
According to Langwitches, along with podcasting skills comes a wealth of other skills for students such as: collaboration, writing, speaking, presentation, communication, media literacy, oral fluency, and others. All of these skills are beneficial and crucial to today's students. Using this technology for exploration and teaching/learning is very out of the box and creative to me. I do not see any negatives to using this technology in the classroom and honestly don't see why it isn't being used more frequently.
