Podcasting can benefit education in several ways. It allows teachers to record lessons and review material for absent students. Podcasts can engage students by incorporating drama, stories, and student-generated content. Specific subjects like language arts, math, science, and social studies can be supplemented with podcasts containing lessons, formulas, facts, and activities. Podcasting is also useful for special needs students by providing audio for spelling, vocabulary, and reading practice. Teachers have resources available to help them start podcasting in their classrooms.
