Podcast Blogger #2

After watching new episodes of the podcasts I have been following I have found some that I find very interesting. In one of the science ones I think the person did a very good job because some of the videos were also tips for teachers. I think there is much more then just teaching the students about topics. I think it is extremely important for teachers to acquire tips as well. In the videos, they give tips to teachers to how to teach students topics, lessons, fun activity ideas for teachers and much more. It is crucial that teachers can gain input from others in order to enhance the classroom experience. That is why I thought these videos were very important.

For the math podcast I have been following, it is unfortunate that there has not been any updated videos. I watched some of the different ones though. I think these videos are very unique because it is actual students  that are speaking and teaching in the video. Each video is a different topic in math and it is students that are talking throughout the video. It is obvious that students need to understand concepts. I think they will be able to understand topics much more if they get the opportunity to teach other students concepts. I think it is also beneficial for the other students as well. Other students get a chance to hear their peers explain concepts and this will give them a better chance of understanding things. I think these videos are great for other students because they can explain concepts for other students to understand.
