Podcast

Podcasting can be a beneficial tool for teachers to use in the classroom. In order to start a podcast, users must open up Garage Band and select the podcast category. On the podcast, the user can record his or her voice as well as add various sounds and music found on Garage Band. These sounds and music tracks that are applied by the users can be placed at various spots along the vocal track so that they can accurately match up to the vocal recording. Users can adjust the volumes on each individual sound in addition to adjusting the sound on the voice recording and the music.

Podcasts can have many functions in education. A podcast could be very useful for a teacher who has an ESL student or a student with a reading disability in his or her class. This teacher could use the podcast to record a story that the students are reading in class. By doing so, the teacher helps out those students who have difficulty reading by allowing the students to listen to the podcast and follow along with the words in the story book. Another way that a podcast could be used for educational purposes would be to record the teacher's class lectures on a podcast and then to make this podcast available to students so that if they miss class, they will be able to learn what was taught when they were absent. Students could also use the teacher's podcast lecture to help them study for tests that are coming up soon. These are only a few examples of how podcasts can be used in the classroom.
