Podcast evaluation

Instructional Time: 1 hour a day for 1 day

In small groups, students will choose 2 video and 2 audio podcasts to listen to and evaluate. Students will fill out the "What’s in a Podcast?" handout and discuss the podcasts as a large group when they are done. 

This can also be done in a large class setting, although the easiest way to do this is with visual podcasts that you already have downloaded on a video iPod that you can plug into your T.V.  Students should still take notes on the handout so they are ready to discuss after each podcast (or after all the podcasts). 

Here's a list of video and audio podcasts I have used in both my English and Journalism classes: Preview Podcasts
