<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #0e0459; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline;"> Podcasting
<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">Podcasting can really assist students with more audio and verbal outlets for learning. Students can record learned content to a podcast site or store readings of text passages for a later time. Oral reports can also be recorded, stored and shared at later times outside of the class. Students who are often reluctant to participate in front of peers will create podcasts and audio recordings more readily than participating live in class discussions. Give these sites a try and see who participates. Allow students to share by writing or verbally relaying specific answers or reactions. They will really enjoy the experience.
