What can we do with podcasts and iPods?

Here are a few ideas we plan to explore in RCPS!

student-produced oral reports and projects
teacher lectures for students who are absent
content for students who could benefit from repetition of information (lecture material, SOL facts, spelling words, etc.)
electronic flashcards (including audio-enhanced cards) created by iFlash http://www.loopware.com/iflash/
interviews, family oral histories
school reporters and "radio" shows
student reflective journals
reading assistance with textbooks (teacher reads book; downloaded audio books from audible.com)
ESL support and foreign language education - vocabulary and pronunciation practice
self-paced learning/enrichment opportunities - content available for students to explore independently
on-location or field trip documentaries, field notes
school announcements
listening to primary source material such as speeches found at http://www.americanrhetoric.com/top100speechesall.html
creating audio guides for local historical sites
watching United Streaming videos
digital storytelling
digital image slide shows
student art shows
