Podcasting in the Classroom
Using a daily podcast would fit right in with the unit I am about to begin. The unit is based on political parties and elections, which is tied to our overall goal of citizenship. I found a great daily podcast from NPR providing daily coverage of the election. I could use podcasts to help students understand the process and stay current on topics. I might incorporate the podcast as a bellringer activity to prompt discussion, or use it as supplemental information linked from Edline. I chose this particular podcast because it is current. It explains the Democratic National Committee process on delegate selection. This is very topical, in that the Pennsylvania Primary is now one week away. http://podcastdownload.npr.org/anon.npr-podcasts/podcast/145/510268/89563742/KPCC%20News_89563742.mp3?dl=1
