Following my wonderful visit at the NC Music Educators Conference in Winston-Salem, it became apparent that there is a need for a forum to share ideas for podcasting in the music classroom.

Some of the ways I’ve used podcasting in the classroom are:

• A Radio Show
• Interview of faculty, staff or students
• Comedy skits
• Composer “interviews”
• Fashion tips for 5th graders
• “Welcome to Our School” for new students
• How to play the recorder
• Substitute plans
• Tutorials – “How To”
• Reader’s Theater
• Chapter books for younger students
• “How to Survive 5th Grade”

If you need a tutorial on how to Podcast, here are a few links for you:
