There are different train ticket for people to choose from when traveled by train. They may want to buy a single ticket and a return ticket. A single ticket allows us to enjoy more freedom at their destinations while a return not only is cheaper but also saves them trouble of buying the ticket when they have decided to return. Some people prefer hard seats to soft ones. Young people like to have hard seats because enjoying the company of other passengers is exactly when they need during a journey. Businessmen would not like to have soft seats. They wanted to have a good rest. When they get on the train，they are still energetic and can rapid go on to do their jobs.
Recently a group of second-graders visited our school library to work on a “holidays around the world” project. The children created pictures showing holiday customs and then created voice recordings explaining what they drew. 1. Now imagine taking things one step further and creating Podcasts in a classroom setting.
The term Podcast refers to an audio recording, linked to the Web, that can be downloaded to a personal MP3 player. The word is created from broadcast and from iPod—the wildly popular MP3 player from Apple.
Using audio with students isn’t new, of course. Teachers have used audiobooks at listening centers and recorded student voice on tape or CD for many years. 2. Podcasts, however, can reach a much wider audience in a time frame outside the school days. Booktalking, an old way of getting kids excited about books, gets a tech assistance with Podcasting. Students can do some booktalking themselves; book review Podcasts seem to be another natural way for students to share what they know, providing an alternative to the book report.
3. Teachers made audio Podcasts, including visuals or video clips for any content area instruction and review. Some teachers have begun to record themselves teaching important concepts; this creates an account of information online for kids to access when they’re stuck on a homework assignment. 4. Imagine being a classroom teacher in September who can actually hear how his or her students were reading in June the school year before.
You don’t need an iPod to make a Podcast. 5. While an MP3 player is a popular and useful gadget, your audience doesn’t need MP3 players to listen, either. Your students and their families can use the computer to play back what you’ve recorded.
A. Audio and video files can also function as assessment tools.
B. It is clearly showed in the incident that student-created voice recordings are effective.
C. Podcasting is of vital importance to the classroom setting.
D. Podcasting is used for various excellent reasons.
E. You can make a Podcast if you have a computer, a microphone, and some free software.
F. Podcasting needs a variety of devices.
G. Voice and music have been seen as the original media for teaching.
