Podcasting in Elementary Education
Here's a story in the Washington Post about podcasting in elementary education. As a devoted user of audio books on my iPod, I think this could be useful. One sad fact of modern American life is how poorly many students read aloud -- I found that again when students in my European Studies 101 read their favorite aphorism from the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius on Monday.
Too many of them, even at a high priced and reasonably selective institution like these Colleges, read aloud haltingly. It was seldom painful to listen to, but they don't all read fluently at first sight. Early practice for podcasting would help that!
