__**OBJECTIVES / STANDARDS**__:
 * 1) Use technology effectively and appropriately to interact electronically.
 * 2) Use technology to communicate information in a variety of formats.
 * 3) Design, implement and assess learning experiences that incorporate use of technology in the curriculum-related instructional activity to support understanding, inquiry, problem-solving, communication or collaboration.

__**GOALS**__: The goal of this project was to use podcasting so that students would get the opportunity to share how they applied what they learned. The students explained their work and gave reasons why their answers were correct through voicethread podcasts.

__**SUMMARY**__: As a result of the podcasts, the students were able to hear each other explain their solutions without any teacher influences. The students were given the opportunity to also study with one another and work together in cooperative groups to explain the problems. I thought podcasting was a useful tool in that I would really enjoy using this type of teaching for review in preparation for upcoming assessments. The students would get an opportunity to work together and discuss the thought process necessary to perform well on quizzes and tests.
