Podcasting

WOW! I did it! Podcasting is not easy at first. I downloaded Skype;which proved to be useless after fighting to understand, and wasting precious days. I finally realized that Skype is more for online telecommunication. Then I tried Audacity, and was confused with uploading the podcast to my blog page, but finally I experienced success. (Not a moment to soon!) I created a podcast in Podomatic. http://www.har4410.podomatic.com/
For the month of November, my 5th grade students have been reading a book report book. For their final project, I had them write a persuasive paper, and create a movie poster that would encourage others to read the book. To complete the project, I am having my students create a podcast so that they can share their book reports with others at school and at home via the internet. I have one student reading her excellent book report on my first podcast, and I am so proud of her efforts. I think you will enjoy listening.
Success at last! Jeannette
