Review/Summary:
In this article entitled, "Podcasting in Middle School: A Case Study and Implications for Teacher Education by Thanh Truc T. Nguyen and Marybeth P. Hamilton from the University of Hawaii, a case study was presented that revealed the use of podcasts by seventh and eighth grade students in English and computer literacy. Of these two subjects, computer literacy was the only curriculum that was still in the formative stages and not fully established.
When the podcast first came about it was in the form of audio with access through MP3 players. The podcasts today also incorporate video and can be viewed online. They are useful tools in the area of instructional technology.
The teachers who presented this technology to their students knew that they had to emphasize active student engagement and participation in addition to maintaining connection to the realworld.
