Displaying poetry through podcasts

Recently watching the video of channel ten news discussing the ability for children to post their poems on the internet. The ability for children to do so, provides constant motivation and allows teachers to praise student achievement. Within the context of English, students are able to recognise the importance of the strands within this subject. Allow students to use such softwares as podcasts gets the students to both use their knowledge of English and learn new skills such as podcasting and recording videos. I believe that as a teacher incorporating IT into the classroom in new and interesting ways, will captivate students interests and allow all students to participate in computer work. Therefore the use of podcasts in the classroom is a great idea.
