Podcasting

After reading Chapter 8 of Richardson's book on Podcasting, it gave me an idea on how I could use podcasts in the classroom. I could see my students using podcasts in our Poetry Unit in Language Arts. This would be great for students to listen to their voices in an expressive tone. Many of my students tend to read aloud in a flat and mono-tone voice, and podcasts would be perfect for them to hear how they read aloud. It will make them aware that when they read aloud, they need to be more excited and expressive. I can see it now, "Poetry in Podcasts"

What are your thoughts about Podcasts in the classroom.
