As an educator I always strive to find educational mediums to enhance student learning as well as broaden my teaching spectrum. It makes my job easier and it makes learning fun. Podcasts are just the ticket!
This is a series of free Sesame Street Podcasts featuring all of the Sesame Street Muppets. There is a Sesame Street Podcast for all of the letters in the alphabet and stories to listen to before bed. Today I reviewed the letter Z. file://localhost/-http/::kids.podcast.com:show:18393:Sesame-Street-Podcast: Great for Pre-School and Kindergarten students to learn alphabet sounds.
This website is for kids to publish their own Podcast for other kids to listen. I could use this media format to enhance education and learning --students can learn from one another. This media format is also an excellent communication tool to be shared with parents.
Sixty-Second Science
: Science news.
This Podcast is presented in a news radio format of 60 seconds by editors of the Scientific American Magazine. I found the Podcasts interesting to listen to even though they are not on the pre-school level. However, for me as and educator it’s information that I can use as a springboard to teach from. It can also be located on iTunes, or at www.sciam.com
The BBC Learning Playtime podcast has an abundance of educational resources for primary education. This site has songs and movement activities that coincide with the Curiosity preschool curriculum. New episodes are posted every Tuesday. It’s free and tons of fun for early childhood learners.
Wubbcast is a weekly videopodcast for preschoolers. The characters and music are from the Nick Jr. show. The characters are familiar and therefore will draw the attention of preschoolers. While being entertained they will be educated and did I say it’s FREE!
