Recommendations
Teachers can use this website in teaching as in they can podcast lectures so that students can listen or use them as a review, if they missed class, or in distance delivery of a course, whereby students use it as a mean to obtain information.Teachers can also use it for reporting, storytelling, listening, speaking,interviewing activities either in class or as homework. However,students can subscribe to podcasts on a wide range of topics since they can share audio clips which may broaden their knowledge. Students can create podcasts to demonstrate understanding or for final project (especially valuable in foreign language classes). Students can also review their class lessons especially during exams. Students can learn language from two ways either speaking by uploading their own audio file or listening to others uploaded audio files. TWO IN ONE!
