I have just written my first podcasting assignments.
I am slightly nervous to try new technology that I have never done before. I am worried the students will look at me like I am crazy. I don’t know how I am going to grade them. I don’t know how to publish them. I don’t know how to edit them. I don’t know is becoming a theme here……
This whole idea just seems crazy as I sit in my classroom after 6pm. Why? Why do I want to try something new? Here is why…. why not? (plus I don’t want to grade another paper this week!)
While I don’t have all the answer just yet; I will by the time I give the project at the end of the week…or I won’t and the students and I will learn together. Heck, they probably already know more about podcasting than I do. I love trying new things and getting new outcomes. But mostly it comes down to I like making memories with my students. If I have learned anything since I became a teacher, it is that I remember the teachers who took the time to make memories with me. I want my students to remember science. I hope to one day hear….I was in Miss Rioux’s class the first time I made a podcast…
Just an update on my first podcast project.
ReplyDeleteScript are writen!! Students are excited! I have figured out Audacty! Well almost!
Tomorrow we record! I will up date you all tomorrow on how it goes! check out my teacher site on friday for all the uploaded podcast!
Friday we celebrate all of the students hard work with a listenting party! Parents are even coming in to share in the student sucess! Itis a great week to be a TEACHER!
Todays update:
ReplyDeleteWe recorded. We had our ups and downs...but all in all we have podcasts.
Saving was the first big issue...solved easly... students did have the rights to save it where I wanted it!
Next issue was time...we didn't have enough of it. I really should have planned an extra day for something new. So we didn't get many extra sounds in them, however students loved the process. So, tomorrow parents will come and we will present! I am very excited!(but very nervus!!)
Last issue that I should have picked up way earlier in the day was that students were touching the mics while recording. There are a few sounds we dont need, but we will manage.
Wish me luck for tomorrow!
Podcasts are up! please check them out at http://students.brenau.edu/arioux/rat.htm!
