Podcasting

Before Spring Break, the STEP team recieved training on Podcasting. After doing more research, joining a few podcasting wikis. I think that Im ready to try it in the classroom. Cant wait to see how things turn out.

For podcasting, we were trained to use Voicethread. Again another FREE website. I noticed that the websites that were chosen for the Year 2 schools had easy access. Which I find to be a plus. I did like the fact the websites can be accessed both in school at home. A gold star for whoever did their research and found out that we can use both websites on the county server.

From the training, I can see myself using Voicethread as a reflection tool in the classroom. From the examples that were shown, many teachers were using Voicethread to have their students evaluate a lesson.

So now it comes to....what am I going to have the students talk about.

Podcasting with Gillens

Podcasting seems as though it is going to be extremely interesting and fun! I'm excited about working with the Dynamic STEP team of Magnolia to create VoiceThreads. The STEP team always keep me focused and on task. Since my team has been with me for so many years, they already know that working with me on VT will be a headache (oops!!!). I mean a REWARDING experience. LET'S GO TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
