As I looked through Podcasting Pickle I found a lot of interesting podcasts that could be beneficial to not only students, but teachers as well. The podcast I chose to write about was Why? The Science Show for Kids. This podcast has 21 different episodes that relate to many different topics in science. A student asks a professor a question regarding something they have been wondering, and he explains why or what is happening. For example, some of the episodes include: Why do we have a tongue?, What's the deepest part of the ocean?, Who invented technology?, What is the shape of space?, etc..... This podcasts provides many different topics and questions that children may be wondering, but have never recieved an answer to before. This would be great to use in the classroom, when learning about a specific topic. After the lesson is taught I would play the podcast for the students to listen to as a closing activity to the lesson. This is a teaching technique that could be incorporated into many different lessons to engage the students and keep them motivated.
