Thing 17

Podcasts are really amazing. It is a great way to supplement instruction and keep students' interest. The multisensory and differentiated learning components are built into the Podcast. I explored a few related to reading and language. I subscribed to one for grammar rules, as I felt that it would supplement my grammar lessons in a more interesting way. I also liked the Word of the Day podcast. I thought it would be easy to incorporate into my lessons to increase vocabulary incrementally. I fell in love with the Just another Book! podcast, because the participants' love of children's literature really resonated with me. I know I will use some of their reviews to help me plan language literature units for my students. I am looking forward to summer, when I can research other relevant podcasts in more depth!
