"Speaking of History" Through Podcasts Starring: Eric Langhorst, Education World
"One night before a test, there was an error in the link that provided the StudyCasts [podcasts], and I received e-mail messages from various parents and students asking me to fix the link so they could use it to study for the test," recalled Eric Langhorst. "At that point, I knew that it was an effective tool." An eighth grade American history teacher at South Valley Junior High School in Liberty, Missouri, Langhorst also teaches a graduate course for educators called "Technology for the Classroom" at Park University. It isn't surprising that he is among the first teachers to explore podcasting. Langhorst began using his original podcast, Speaking of History, with his students in the fall of 2006. Since November 2005, the site that hosts the podcast has had more than 10,000 visitors from 88 different countries.
