I think using podcast in the classroom is a great way to change up the dynamics of the classroom. Students today just aren’t the types that want to sit and listen to lectures all day every day. So, using Podcasts to break up a lesson, add to it or reinforce it is a great alternative.
Just last week, we used the audio recording of a book and played it while the students read along, they loved this so much better than listening to the teacher read or taking turns reading. They felt the characters more and felt more involved in the story as they heard it and read along with it.
Some of the podcast that I like are:

These sites have a lot of great examples when it comes to video production and editing, nice tips and tricks to use and overall nice video to supplement, especially should I ever need to be absent and a sub has to take over.
