Ever since I heard about podcasting I have wanted to try it. Students have jumped right into it with their book talks. Students had a choice of writing a book critique or writing a podcasting book talk. Everyone decided to write the script! Many students in our language arts classes were able to practice recording their voices on our class iPods and iPads. We quickly realized that podcasting is not easy! You really have to practice your script over and over again. Plus, it seems like less is more in terms of time.
To share our book talks and "podcast" our favorite books with the world, Mr. Nymick has suggested that we put our podcasts on the school's public drive. (Yes, you can still practice on the ipods and ipads but the final recording needs to be done on the laptop.) We can actually do this using a laptop and that cool microphone that Madame L. gave us. (Merci beaucoup!) Mr. Nymick has suggested that we get our time down to about 15 seconds. I realize that some students may need to go over a little. However, let's consider our audience. We want to help other students and teachers find books they may actually want to read. Let's help them quickly!
Let me know what you think!
