Podcasts

Have you ever recorded your voice on a website? Until recently, I would have answered no. But now I have a podcast on a wiki. On this podcast, I give directions to a science experiment. Why? Because many of my first graders need help decoding words. Podcasts allow me to record messages and important information and send it to my students. I plan on also using podcasts to record books and stories being read by my students. Parents can then hear their child's precious voice whenever they want to.

In class today, we worked with Audacity and iPadio. Both sites are free and easy to use. When using Audacity, you need a microphone, and it allows you to edit.  With iPadio, you need a phone and does not allow you to edit. I am excited about using this new technology in the classroom. Any time a student has his fingerprint on display for his parents to see great things will come of it.
