Evidence 1:  Podcast 1 Scroll down to find podcasts  Podcast 2 Scroll down to find podcasts  Podcast 3 Rationale 1: The podcasts created for my classes are used as a listening tool for the development of certain grammar structures. These podcasts are used for students ages 14-18 in my Spanish 2 classes

I developed 3 podcasts for students learning certain grammar structures. They are one of the methods I use in order to give as many examples to how correctly use these language structures. The use of the podcasts give students a better understanding on its use in everyday language. Because the conversation is based in an authentic situation, students get a better understanding and gain a better perspective of authentic speech. I feel the podcasts reinforce what students are learning and help their oral proficiency.

6.K.4 The teacher recognizes the importance of nonverbal, verbal and media communication techniques.

Including media communication in the classroom gives a refreshing tool in order teach difficult language structures.

6.S.5 The teacher knows how to use a variety of media communication tools, including audiovisual aids and computers, to enrich learning opportunities.

If I were to create new podcasts for my Spanish 1 students, I feel very confident in how to develop even more.

6.D.2 The teacher values many ways in which people seek to communicate and encourages many modes of communication in the classroom.

Much of my class is based on oral development. I am always looking to provide a variety of methods to increase their oral proficiency.
