Wow, I am impressed!!! A real podcast. Now can you imagine using this in a classroom/ homework setting?
ReplyDeleteHey Tal,
ReplyDeleteI have to admit it is a bit difficult to follow a podcast. Regardless of what you said in specific, it is just hard to stay concentrated and listen for so long to someone without breaks.
However, I think you are very brave doing this podcast. I envy that.
Regarding your opinion about Spelling Bee, I think it is nice that we can interest the students at all ages to engage spelling. one of the ways is using their world and approaching to them in “their language”. In a time of technological progress, it is necessary to show the students that we can keep them interested even though it is a matter of education.
Again, must emphasize my impression of your courage recording a podcast!
Great blog
Liron.
Dear Tal,
ReplyDeleteThat is really surprising and impressive. Great idea to make something Original, and not just concentrating on understanding and the way of using the new tools offered, in the classroom.
I agree with Liron that the podcast was difficult to follow, but I do not know why. The ideas are clear and your pronunciation is good, maybe because it is a little long or just covering many points.
As far as your choice of sites is concerned I like it as my choice is quite similar. Regarding the chats, I am not sure it works good for the big classes as you cannot follow all the students and then they are free to switch to their own language and to do what they want.
Thank you
Julia
