As I was exploring the podcasts in iTunes I found TONS of really cool files that would be great to use in the classroom. I came across a series that is a conversation between 2 people made for students studying Spanish. I chose a podcast about Facebook to use in class because I felt it would be interesting for teenagers due to the topic and the pace is perfect for my Spanish IV students.
I will have my students listen to the podcast by providing a link to it via this blog and also through my Fusion page. The fusion page is what we use at school to communicate with parents and students. There are worksheets that people can purchase as well as the transcripts of the dialogues. I would need to preview some samples before deciding if it would be worthwhile to purchase.
After the students listen to the dialogue they will need to post a reaction on our class Edmodo page. They will write what they liked best about it and what they did not enjoy.
You're a great example of what a language teacher can be doing for her students!
