Pod casts are convenient class room tools for lecturing as its easy to download presentations. For example a teacher can download a podcast of blood flowing through a human heart to help explain the circulatory system. Or a long division problem done one step at a time.
A teacher can also give a list of "helpful Pods" for each lesson, project or assignment. The "helpful Pods" can give extra help or go more in depth than class time allows.
Podcasts are good for upper level and lower level student. The teacher must however pay attention to age appropriateness, and student involvement. Having a class of five and six year olds searching for a podcast on the human body all at once is not advisable.
One site with lots of ideas comes from an online school library journal. They also have useful links to other "pod-teaching" sites.
The itunesUniversity also has lots of classroom down loads many of which are FREE! Which always helps given the cut backs in educational funding.
