Student Podcasts
The use of technology, specifically audio and video, has been used for instruction for many years.  Here at GST BOCES, we are encouraging our students to demonstrate their skills and abilities through the use of podcasts.  It serves the classroom well on many levels:
  1. as an assessment tool - Teachers can quickly and easily see if the student has mastered a particular skill,
  2. as a learning tool - students can learn different approaches and techniques from their peers,
  3. as a self-esteem/skill building tool - students develop the same self-esteem and confidence that typically comes from activities like public speaking, but they also develop valuable writing, planning and technology skills and
  4. as a marketing tool - students can include their podcasts in an electronic portfolio and shared with prospective employers and/or admissions personnel.
