Wikis and Podcasts

I have also used podcasts in the Sped class. They are a neat tool that allows you to watch something on your own time. I didn't know itunes had them for free, and that there were so many of them available. This is something I am going to check out more thouroughly.
I knew a little about wikis, but not to the extent of what we learned in class. I knew they were sites that all or some peolple could add to and change, but I had only seen them as an informational source. They way we used them in class was way cool!

  1. That's how I've thought of wikis as well--an informational source. I hadn't thought of the uses they offer in a classroom. Can't wait to use one.

    I bet we were in the same SPED class, and I agree, the freedom the podcasts offered were great. I know my high school students would love the autonomy something like this would offer. I was surprised by what was avaliable as well. Exciting stuff!
