I Liked listening to the vocabulary podcasts that the students created. What a clever way to teach and display knowledge of vocabulary. I also recognized that there was a set pattern to how the students podcasted. They first used the word in a sentence and then clarified for the second person who used it in another sentence. I think other students would like to listen to their peers podcast and this will help them learn in a more creative way. My sixth graders that are not as motivated in this area would benefit from this style of teaching.

I agree, I think this would be a great way to teach vocabulary. Many of my students really don't like learning new vocabulary as it is dull and simple fact memorization. I've also been researching the power of blogging in the classroom and because blogs and podcast are often available to a global audience, students are pushed to produce the best products.
