There are various benefits to utilizing podcasts. And from the collection information on podcasts I have learned that my classroom can benefit from creating informative podcasts. Judy Scharf Podcast Collection at http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Coll_jpsrolls/Podcast/Collection is where I gathered valuable information on how to do podcasts. Some benefits of podcasting are that students will become more interested and involved in creating than in just listening and watching the teacher. Auditory learners will be more successful in the classroom. Students can make up missed assignments and remain up to date in their work, and their parents can also be more involved in what is going on with their child.
The tips and explanations in Ms. Scharf's podcast information was very easy to follow, which helps me out quite a bit. The suggestions were varied and accessible. From what I have read, the, instructions are similar to any other assignment, give them enough time, give students choices of topics, list criteria, and give examples, are just a few. Also, by breaking the lessons down to teach parts of how to create a podcast would be very helpful to those students who would get overwhelmed when given too much information.
I look forward to creating podcasts and teaching my students in this area. The more involved they become the more successful they become.

Good job Pam. I hope now you have a better understanding of what you will be doing when you create your own podcast in a few weeks. Keep up the good work.
