Assignment+3+-+Podcast+Subscription


 * __Assignment #3 - Podcast Subscription__**

The podcast that I subscribed to was “The Video Math Tutor”, which provides a series of videos tutorials on important math topics. The videos cover math topics that range all the way from 7th grade to the college level. In addition to the math tutorials, it also provides video brain teasers for students to solve. One way I would use this series of podcasts in my classroom is as an extra resource for my students. Students who are struggling with a topic or were absent would be able to view the appropriate video and hopefully gain a better understanding of the concept. Another use of these podcasts would be for those students who already know the material we are covering and need a challenge. I could assign them a certain topic and they could watch the appropriate video to learn about that topic. I feel this would be very beneficial because the higher achieving students could learn about a new concept on their own in class while I help out the students that are struggling with the material we are currently covering. I have always wanted to try this setup with teaching two different lessons to the class, but I felt it would be very difficult to accomplish. With these podcasts, I believe that these types of lessons would be very realistic to do in a large classroom.
