video podcast summary

I watched a video podcast about the Energy Flow in the Coral Reef Ecosystem. It was directed towards K-5 age group. It basically talked about coral reefs and photosynthesis. It talked about how energy is passed in an ecosystem through the food chain. How the herbavores each algae and the carnivores eat the herbavores. It was a good learning tool for kids of that age.
These podcasts are a great resource for children and teachers. It has a lot of visual effects that are good for the children. I think that it would keep their attention and get them interested in the subject at hand. I also think that is was a very informative video. Teacher could use these video podcasts in the classroom or have the students go home and watch them. They could have little quizzes on the videos and that would be a good way to keep them involved.
I was not aware of how many resources itunes had for teachers and students. The podcasts video and radio are an awesome tool to have in the classroom. I think it is a good thing that schools are starting to incorporate technology into the classroom. Technology is becoming a big part of learning and the students need to learn how to use it.
