With limitless options for topics I could cover in my podcast, I was having trouble coming up with one that I wanted to do. I think, however, that I will record a poetry lesson. I will cover a few of the main poetic devices, providing definitions and examples for each.
I will probably record it as though it is one in a series of podcasts on the topic of poetry, not really giving a lot of background about myself, but instead focusing on the subject matter. I think it would be good to use these in my classroom as a way for students to access the "notes" while at home. It would also be helpful for a student if they happened to miss a day that had a lecture - they could listen to the podcast to receive the information I covered in our discussion.
Great idea. I'd like to borrow your podcasts for my upcoming poetry class. I was thinking of using it for grammar minilessons as help for errors that I find in students' writing.
ReplyDeleteAbsences are tough for students to catch up and for me to tell them all they missed, not just the cliff notes. ;-) In some ways, for them to receive the same info via online instead of in person, makes me wonder about our guest speaker and how part of her class can be on site or elsewhere. Does that make you feel potentially obsolete? In some ways, it does for me, but in others, it may be freeing. Couldn't some of my high flyers be offsite, while my strugglers need me in person 1:1? Something to ponder....
It's not the greatest, but you can use it. If I rerecord it, you can have that one as well. Or, we could work together and come up with multiple ideas for what we could record either as podcasts or audiofiles.
