As my experience says that drama is a successful tool in teaching that can be used in classrooms.Podcasts, to me, seems like could be used with adults as well during projects and presentations, where they could just record and re-record stuff until they are satisfied. <br />Being a teacher in today's world needs so much of innovation in terms of teaching tools,technology that this seems to be an interesting, simple and fun for the children to have their hands on. Educators are working on creating virtual classrooms by tech-tools like wikis, podcasts , blogs, etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108694028384241059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108217721925832680.post-29135192750787460572010-02-26T20:33:33.242+02:002010-02-26T20:33:33.242+02:00Our topic was travel & tourism so I used windo...Our topic was travel & tourism so I used windows Moviemaker to make a simple presentation about my hometown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaOerrFIZGc<br />The students did a gist listening & transcription then made movies about their own towns based on this model.<br /><br />Next, I recorded an interview a colleague about his hometown and made a movie (moviemaker) of that. Sts did a gist listen then transcribed the questions I asked. In pairs, they used these to interview a teacher around the college and made their own videos in Moviemaker. To add a written component, they put subtitles in the movies & created listening gap fill exercises for their peers.<br /><br />The next module is Education so I want to get them marketing the college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108217721925832680.post-65257855813299134312010-02-26T18:40:22.551+02:002010-02-26T18:40:22.551+02:00..just a quick note from a University educator: I .....just a quick note from a University educator: I am using blogtalkradio to record class "lectures" so that students can listen to them on their phones.Duane B Thomashttp://edyoucation.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108217721925832680.post-34115376894883942462010-02-23T03:16:15.912+02:002010-02-23T03:16:15.912+02:00We are creating podcasts in our class.

In small groups, the students decided on what they wanted to report on, and then came up with the concept for their shows.<br /><br />We then set up Google Reader accounts and subscribed to RSS feeds that could "feed" us the content we needed for the podcasts. The students capture the content from Google Reader via Evernote, and then cut the articles back into bite size pieces by editing in Evernote. Once they have gone through this process and have created a script, the students record their podcast using Audacity. <br /><br />Earlier on, each group created a "theme song" for their podcast using a program called Acid Express from Sony. This is basically the Windows equivalent to Garageband, and allows us to ensure that the music we create for our intro does not infringe on copyright. <br /><br />The students import the audio of their theme song onto the front end of their recording in audacity, export to mp3, then we send it to itunes. <br /><br />You can check out our podcasts by searching the itunes directory for litcircuitvoices <br /><br />I've set up a "podcasting booth" in our classroom with a Snowball mic. We record every day, with each group preparing an episode once every two weeks in a rotation.<br /><br />The class is a Grade 5/6 split.mrjarbennehttp://litcircuits.comnoreply@blogger.com
