Podcast

Podcast..kinda sounds like what you put on a broken group of peas..hahaha.. okay so I'm not funny but seriously...There are so many things you can do with recording software and a microphone. The possibilities are endless in a classroom and it's amazing how easy things like audacity are to use. I think teachers are afraid to take the step toward podcasts because they think they can only be used on ipods...wrong... they think that they are hard to make.. wrong again... they think little kids couldn't ever do something like a podcast.. wr.. er.. you get the idea... I think it will be fun to try a lesson with the primary grades and podcasting!

Digital Video Editing

I see the ways in which digital video editing would be great for middle and high school kids but I'm still trying to wrap my head around using this with elementary school students. As I am trying to get a better grasp on this, amazingly I have a teacher who comes to me and says, " I want to learn something new.. what's new in our technology closet that I haven't done yet?" After thinking for a second I say," yeah we have these new FLIP cameras.. let's get together and plan something for using them with your students." The great thing is this... this is going to force me to come up with something to do with video editing... I'm up for the challenge for sure!! :)
