End of the Day Sept 29th

We'll today we took a big bite out of our lesson plan, almost completing it. We just need to make a worksheet or two. We still need to record our story as a song on podcast, as well as complete the lesson plan. As of now, the lesson looks to be coming along very well and looks to be a solid and strong lesson. Hopefully we will be totally completed by the end of this week.

Plan for Sept 29th

Today I'll be completing my effective questioning portion of my lesson plan. As well as starting the structure of our lesson plan. We won't be able to finish our podcasting today due to that fact that we don't have all the proper materials as of now. But, I assure you that we will get it done proir to our presentation date. We are just having some trouble with uploading our power point and music onto the podcasting system.

End of Podcast Day #2

today we got alot of work done. We almost completed a power point presentation to go along with our story. Now, we just hope and pray we are able to upload our power point onto the podcast. Are book is going to be a sing along, so the power point will help the kids stay along as well as keep thier attention towards the screen. We still have alot of things to do, but for now we are looking good. We are almost done with the power point, then its on the to audio session to finish off our podcast.

PRE- PodCasting Day #2

Before we start recording today, we want to find some images we could use to go alond with our story. Somegood illustrations that will really grab the attention of the students as the story is being read. We also, wanted to see if we could find some music as well for the backround, becuase our story wilkl most likly be sung rather then read. Today we have a lot of work ahead of us. Wish us luck!

Day #1 of Podcasting.

Today was the definition of trial and error. With a whole group of students trying to all learn a new program all at once can be hectic, and it kinda was. The room was 100 degrees, and half the computers wouldn't even work. But even through all of that, today was a great sucess. I learned how to use podcast, I got the chance to record somethings and hear my voice for feedback. After one day of the podcasting program I can already tell that this is going to be alot of fun as well as educational

Pod Casting

I don't know much about podcasting, but I do know some of the things podcasting is used for and what it is capable of. It's series of digital files, usually video or audio. By releasing a podcast, makes your information any type of digital file downloadable and accessable to other users on the wed. It's good for sharing information of all sorts as well as a social network, to meet and share with others. Itunes uses podcasts to shar music and video files with others all over the web. Itunes is know as a podcatcher, which can automatically identify and download new files when they are released. There are so many different types of podcasts and podcatchers. Me personally, dont know many but would love to learn more about podcasting and podcatching. I feel as though he could open me up to a whole new style of communicating and sharing knowledge, entertainment, and other sorts of useful information.
