Podcasting in the Classroom

After viewing various podcasts and creating my own podcast tutorial, I strongly feel that podcasting can be very useful in a classroom. At first I sat there for a while thinking how in the world could I use a podcast to help teach mathematics in the class. There are many situations that I thought about in which I can incoporate podcasting in the classroom. For one thing I could use a podcasting for my students to share any news or media stories related to math. I've always heard students say "we'll never use math again" but now students will be able to make a connection in math with real life situations. Another situation in which I could use podcasting in the classroom would be by posting any homework, upcoming assignments and exam dates so that students won't come into the classroom not knowing what they have to do. From my experience in math classrooms, some of my teachers never gave us homework on fridays. Something that I would incoporate podcasting would be for my students to use a podcasts to create any math riddles, games, puzzles on the material they are learning and have them share it with the classroom.
