This article talks about podcasting as a form of CALL use in the ESL classroom. It is an interesting read (although from 2007, which is 'old' for technology articles), and it gives me ideas of things I want to start to do in our department. However, once school begins I find myself completely overrun with projects, teaching, planning, advocating, organising, discussing, meetings, etc...and I don't have time to find ways to incorporate new technologies. I love developing tech and learning about it in my off time, or in PD opportunities, but unless it is straightforward to use and ready to go it can be more cumbersome to use than it is worth (at least for the first time using it).
I hope that I may plan some time this year for my own professional implementation, so that I am not wasting my learning. It may help that I will be working with a Teacher Candidate this semester- we can work together to integrate this into our lesson planning.
