Reflecting on the discussions from last week and this week, I definitely see the benefits of using podcasts over blogging in class with my 7th grade English students.
Personally, I would use the podcasts as “springboards” for conversations or a starting point for projects. I would be able to control which appropriate podcasts my students were viewing and I would also be able to choose which podcasts were educational and useful.
On the other hand, blogging would be more difficult to assess and control….especially if students posted outside of school. It would be very time consuming to make sure all of my students were being appropriate and posting educational links and comments. In addition, not all of my students have technology at home and our school only has one computer lab.
