NECC Musings

I recently attended the National Educating Computing Conference in San Diego, and was blown away by how technology is affecting education. I attended sessions on webcasting, podcasting, and blogging. I was impressed with how easily engaging classroom activities can be implemented with the software tools available to teachers. I also saw impressive demonstrations of interactive white boards and other new technologies.

Here are a few websites on podcasting that you might find of interest.

Great topic, Podcasting is especially useful in teaching ESL, students can hear native speakers, within the age group of their choice, talking about current topics and hear them use colloquialisms that they may not encounter in traditional teaching formats. A very good ESL site with Podcasts and lesson plans that uses current affairs as teaching content is located at:
