Teachers in Hutchinson, Kansas are now making their lectures available as podcast. Starting this year Teachers at elementary, middle and high schools in Hutchinson will make their lectures avialable each day through podcast. Teachers are able to record their lectures using digital cameras. Lectures may either be available in audio or video depending on the class or type of lecture.

Since students can download lectures on their iPods if they miss class or do not understand something in class they will have a way to view their lectures. This new way of using technology is especially helpful by covering reading and math skills to meet the “No Child Left Behind”  standards. 

The Patterson schools will make podcasts available through computers, televisons and iPods. Students will be able to check out iPods to view lectures. This new way of using technology in the classroom will be a valuable source for students in many different ways.
