Podcasting can be a great tool as long as it is used to teach to your objectives. Children can really master a concept if they create a podcast about it. For example, when younger grades are learning shapes, they can get into small groups and create podcasts about individual shapes. As a culminating lesson, the kids can have a popcorn party and watch each other's podcasts to review all of the shapes.
Teacher-created podcasts can also be helpful. I plan to create podcasts for my students to listen to at home. They will be fun and a good way for children to review what they have learned. They can also be used to front load new vocabulary, especially to ELLs.
