As I mentioned in my last post, I am going to use a pod cast or create something in Gargeband instead of trying to continue to find a VFT. This does not mean that I have given up on VFT because I think they are awesome. I just feel that I need to look into a VFT that can be used to engage learners in another area. I have found some really fun "destinations". Just need to figure out where they can fit into our content. :)
This past week during my training at the 21st Century Academy, I learned about a site called Glogster and I love it. I may try to also incorporate this into my plan.
School is nearing quickly and I am anxious to utilize all that I have been learning. It's hard to take some of these classes during the summer and not have the ability to "try out" a lesson or technique.

ReplyDeleteI use the podcasting program Audacity in my classroom and the students love it. The project can be time-consuming, but the outcomes are well worth it. In the past I have had the students create podcasts as a news reporter, telling me the story of the "late breaking news" of an assassination, entry to war, or some other historical event. Hope you have the opportunity to try it out this year, they are great!
Hello, When I have done podcasts before, I used Garage Band. I have had the principal and the guidance counselor read or whatever on the podcasts and the kids love it. They get so excited when they recognize a voice they know.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try a news broadcast.
