Personal MP3 Recorders

Mr. James — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:36:55 +0000

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?

A New Podcast is Born

Arrington on the Air is a new podcast by Mrs. Arrington’s second grade class. Their first episode was published today on her blog. You could tell from their expressive voices that they had a good time putting this first episode together. Check it out and give these young podcasters a boost of confidence as they begin their digital journey.

Introducing Inclusioncast

Mr. James — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:40:14 +0000

I have finally finished the first of hopefully will be many podcasts on inclusion. I love talking to teachers about inclusion practices and I love multimedia. It just seemed natural to me to create a podcast that combines those two loves.

Please indulge me and give me some feedback on this maiden voyage in the uncharted waters of podcasting. Well, uncharted for me.
