It is better as a teacher to make your podcasts available with no charge so your students can download a free copy for their own use later on. One way to make this possible is using a file sharing program and just sending out the link every time.

As a teacher, you could just send out the link to your page and just notify your students when a new file is available.

Podcasting in Education

¶ Communication with Parents

o Both teachers and parents have busy schedules, yet podcasting still allows for a personal meeting when the time is available

¶ Absent Students

o Can download missed lectures or get extra help from the teacher about assignments

¶ Lessons

o Lessons such as foreign languages or vocabulary would be helpful to students if they are podcasted. Students can go back and review and hear the pronunciation of words

¶ Oral Presentations

o Minimizes the fear of standing in front of a class and presenting, yet their voice is still heard and the assignment is fulfilled

¶ Guest Speakers

o Guest speakers in a moments notice

¶ Special Needs Students

o Podcasting allows the teacher to easily provide accommodations if their lessons are podcasted

¶ Online Classes

o Allows for a lecture via online, which is sometimes very useful to the class
