Podcasting, Yeah!

Wow! How do you fit an entire book into a 3 minute podcast while still allowing time for seven group members to partake? We ran into a few technical issues, for example, the sound recorder would only record 60 seconds at a time. Obviously we overcame this and made it into a 5 minute podcast. Still, the podcast was a lot of fun and a great way to recap the book.

Anything we can make hands-on for our students is extremely beneficial. It allows them to make something intangible tangible. In doing so, the retention of the material must be astounding in comparison to reading or taking notes. The same can be said for science experiments. This is absolutely something I will implement in my classroom.

Give it a listen

I agree! Hands on is the way to go. I love to see what students can create and see all of their different talents.
