summarizing podcasting

This is a tool that has a potential in the classroom. A new presentation format that would allow students to express their ideas. Students are still reporting and researching, this provides a new venue to these standards and incorporating them into a curriculum. Engagement to the authors is an important feature. It provides public speaking practice and profection. Audacity, a free download, allows editing tools, Gabfest allows instant recording. Comfort levels of teaching and student skills will blend to add to the projects.
