Podcasts Give Students More 'Teacher Time' - Linda Man, The Kansas City Star
"You're making your classroom part of the global conversation," said David Warlick, founder of the Landmark Project, an educational consulting agency. "When you engage the kids in the world, the kids see their values in a different way." Some students usually can't wait to get out of class. Others, such as 14-year-old Adrienne Graskemper, can't wait to listen to her teacher Eric Langhorst again and again and again. Langhorst is an eighth-grade history teacher in the Liberty School District of Kansas City, Mo., and his secret weapon is podcasting. He is among a handful of teachers who use podcasts to help students review for exams and to supplement their education outside the classroom.
