Podcasting and Beating the Blogging Blues! 3-13-09

Today, we had our monthly meeting for our STEP II Team. It was centered on Podcasting. I'm excited to begin using this new technology tool. This weekend, I will probably go out and purchase a simple headset with attached microphone. I'll begin by having the students record the text for their personal page in our class Write-A-Book, Our Alliterative Animal Alphabet. This will give every child a chance to record one sentence of text as an introduction to podcasting. Our next step will be to record descriptions of our Landform Pictionary books and Landform model project. We will be working our way up to using this multimedia tool/option for presenting our Biweekly Book Reviews on our class Wikipage.
As you can see, we have also been able to begin blogging online again. It should be a much more user-friendly format to share a blog page on this site within our school.
