Emerging Technology in the Clsasroom

Podcasts have been taking over the world it seems like! Pretty much every thing we listen to can be heard on a podcast; news, music, television shows, movies, and interviews. Teachers have now brought podcasts into the classroom for their students to use. Having a podcast allows the student share the learning experience with each other. It also allows the teacher to provide material that can be converted into audio files for the students to download and use at a time that suits them. Such companies as ABC, CBS, CNN, NASA, and The History Channel have been getting into this podcasts fad. The students are able to access information from any of these companies. It is very beneficial for the students.

Here is a link to a site that goes into great detail about the emerging technology if Podcasts:
