There are many different uses for podcasting in the classroom. Some that I thought of that could be useful are for introductions on the first week of school. During the first week of school, students can make a podcast to tell the class a little bit about themselves and what they like to do for fun.

Another great idea with podcasting can be for language learners. They can record themselves speaking in that language and then go back and critique themselves and fix their mistakes. I have actually done this myself, and it is very interesting to listening to myself speak in Spanish. It was nice to be able to go back and edit the bad parts!

Lastly, one other use of podcasting that I want to make sure to incorporate in my classroom is for the use of feedback. After sitting through lessons at school, students can go home and make a podcast of what they learned and still need help on with the lesson. I can listen to those and address their questions the next day of school.
