There are many benefits of teaching with podcasts in the classrooms. It provides an effective way of interacting with students and parents outside of the classroom. Students are familiar with this technology, so it makes the lesson more relevant to them. Absent students are able to get the information still even though they were sick. Parents can hear and see what their children are learning for themselves.

Additionally, the students can make podcasts themselves. This would give them a way to learn the information on their own and teach the class in a fun way. It would also promote creativity and innovation in the students. They can create role plays. All of these things make their learning more enjoyable and memorable.
