Student Podcast Creations

Below are the students' podcasts which they created with the free download program Audacity. The purpose of this assignment was for students to create an audio file and save the file in a MP3 format, or podcast, and explain how their file might be used in teaching and learning.

Here are 2 examples of MP3 files created by the instructor :

media type="file" key="marketing hdg podcast.mp3" width="240" height="20" This is a podcast that my Marketing class did to promote attending Havre de Grace High School next school year. We are losing many students to Harford Tech and private schools, so this is a way to show them that good things are happening here.

I recorded myself reading __Happy Easter Mouse__ By: Laura Numeroff. I will be using this story during ILA on Wednesday (the day before spring break) and the kids will be sequencing the order of the eggs. They will draw the eggs and put them in order to help them retell a story! I am anxious to see if the kids realize it is me 'reading' the story :)!

This is a podcast with third grade students (a group of 4 boys and 3 girls). The students are singing their muliplication facts for the 3s and 4s facts. They learned these facts to the tune of row, row, your boat. Now that they know these songs, they are able to answer multiplication problems a little faster. It is interesting to see some of the students singing the song in their heads when answering problems to help recall the facts. Included in the students singing is the special education student that I work with. She is also able to use this song to help her and knows her multiplication facts as a result of this style of learning. This podcast could be played at the beginning of math each day for the students to sing along with to increase their fact recall.

I recorded one of my students reading poems from her poetry project. I teach this student in math, but during homeroom and in my class she is always scribbling away in her notebook putting down her thoughts and feelings. When I heard about this assignment, she instantly came to mind. The student was thrilled at the idea of sharing her poems with me and recording them!

 * Mistakes**
 * The End**

This is a podcast of several selections from a poetry book, //Always Believe in Yourself and Your Dreams//. It is a book that I like to share with my 5th grade students as they prepare to leave elementary school and move to middle school. The poems depict how our life story is written by the choices we make and how we treat others. - **Lisa**
