Tech Tuesday

Remember that you are to attend a minimum of two Tech Tuesdays this year.

Please post a summary of each staff development session you participate in. Include the date and time, summary of what was taught, implication for personal and professional use.

Podcast #4

January's podcast is due by the 31st. Whether it is an audio podcast or enhanced, please include a commercial that breaks up the podcast. Choose a commercial that would inform the students about something that might support your curriculum or the school. The commerical can be one you do or perhaps you use other people to assist you with.

Post your podcast topic and what your commerical is about.

Time to share. Schedule a time in your next department meeting to share what a podcast is and how you can use it in your classroom. Post when this is done and the department members reactions. Please also let them know that if they are interested in doing this they just need to talk with me.

Podcast #3

Now you know how to create an enhanced and video podcast. Please use one of the techniques taught to you and post a podcast that would support your class. Post the topic of the podcast here and share how things went in terms of getting it created and how you used it with your class.

Podcast is due Dec 15th.

Podcast #2

Your next podcast is due Dec 1st. It is a podcast that either enhances or remediates a topic in your class. This podcast needs to include background music. Please post the topic you will focus on.

Please post the name of the podcast you used in class with your students and a short reflection of how things went. What did the students think of it?

Podcast #1

Your first podcast is due to me on October 13th. Please post a short summary of what you podcasted? How did it go? What did your students think?

During the Saturday training, you were asked to find three podcasts. One was of personal interest, one was something you could use in your classroom, and one was to have been done by students. Please post the names of those three podcasts here and a short description of what they were.

What did you think of the podcasting training you participated in? Can you see some academic value to either using or podcasting in your own classroom?
