Playing with Podcasts

My Podcast

In my podcast I mention that using recorded audio can be very beneficial for student with disabilities or delays in literacy. I would like to expand on that by explaining some of the benefits. Students that have difficulty with motor skills, such as producing handwriting, could use podcasting as an alternative way to complete assignments with a lit of writing. They will be able to show ownership of the project without the frustration of having to try to produce writing. This is just one example of how students could use their voice to benefit their own education. On the other hand, students with speech delays could also benefit from audio recorded by the teacher. Using media that records audio and video would not only allow the student to hear the words but also to see the way to mouth moves during the production of the word. This would provide a stress free way for students to practice on their own. Podcasting can be beneficial in so many ways; with a little creativity, the possibilities are truly endless.
