Learning as a Way of Teaching

I have recently acquired 3 Sony Stereo IC Recorders.  Here are my ideas for implementation:

Podcasting

• Podcasters could interview faculty members around school
• Families can be a part of podcasts as they record their family history
• Interviewing community leaders would be within reach
• Reporting “live” on field trips, capturing the sounds of what they are seeing

In the classroom

• Students recording themselves reading and then playing back.
• Teachers can recite spelling words for students to practice (listening with the included earphones)
• Centers can have a recorder to playback instructions for that activity

Communication

• Students can take home recorded messages from teachers (in English or Spanish)
• Co-Teachers can record thoughts to share with collaborating partners
• Content Mastery Teachers can get detailed messages about assignments coming from General Ed teachers

These are just a few of the ideas running through my brain.  What are your thoughts?
