Reflection of Podcast

We are plannig to use the podcast as the ice breaker for the story and the lesson. We are using the podcast to help the students answer the riddles that were given to them before we read the book. The students listened to the podcast quietly and after the podcast was done, we ask them question about the animals they just learned in the story. The podcast worked but it was very low for the students to hear. I would use it but I would have to make sure the school that I am interested in has a good IT team that would help me with any technological problems.
