Play the above podcast to listen to an introduction of Zipporah and her teaching "philosophy". I believe that Podcasts can be an effective tool for teachers, especially for helping students keep up with the class if they miss days. Though I plan to teach math, for subjects like English and Social Studies, I think Podcasts would be great. The teacher could assign a podcast each night for the students to listen to in preparation for the next class period. That way, the teacher could use more class time for more hands-on work than lecture and could also keep track of what students do the homework and pay attention in class. For math, I could see myself using Podcasts as a way to offer extra credit to my students by including extra or background information in the podcasts that was not taught in class.
