Podcasts are a great way to expand learning beyond the
classroom or library, and at the same time actively engage
students in a new way through this accessible and exciting
new modality. Podcasts can help teachers introduce concepts,
review lessons, check student progress in language learning,
and supplement classroom curriculum. Podcasts are readily
available (for free) online from an expanding number and
variety of sources, where individual segments can be down-
loaded or one can subscribe to a feed. An increasing number
of k-8 teachers and students have been actively using pod-
casting in addition to high schools and universities, who were
early adapters of the technology.
Content applications for podcasting include: Art, for listening
to lectures and presentations from universities and museums
around the world; Language Arts, from assisting beginning
readers with early fluency to group listening of an audio book;
Math, to help reinforce new concepts; Music, downloading
has redefined how music is listened to; Science, for learning
about animals, astronomy, biology, and physics; Social
Studies, to learn about geography, the sounds of other
cultures and lots more.
In addition to presenting information to students, podcasting
opens the door for student-created podcasts which can be
presented to classmates or shared online with students in
other countries (for virtual foreign exchange programs for
instance). Whether with MP3 players or group use through
our USB Jackbox, read how the Fairfax, Virginia school
district is using student podcasting.
Unlike consumer brands, the Califone MP3 player / recorder
is designed for the unique demands within schools by teachers
for students. From a safety perspective, it is the only MP3
player built with rugged ABS plastic so it can’t shatter into potentially sharp shards. Hearing preservation is also important, which is why we’ve
integrated Sentinel Technology
TM
to restrict the volume playback to the ASHA recommended level of 85dB when used with its 8100-HP headphone.
The 8100 is built with dual headphone jacks for multiple listeners and a microphone for podcasting. It is ideal for nurturing language learning & reading
skills, ELL, ELD applications and listening to recorded books and music.
