Classroom Podcasting

Part 1: In the Media

• Feel free to link to any material that you think I would find helpful for the show. Articles can come from the mainstream media, your favorite blog, or your own website. Make sure to leave your name and a link so that I can thank you during the show. Also: If you are not sure if your item belongs in the media section or in the comments section feel free to put it in either and someone will move it for you.

Part 2: Audience Comments

• Your Name and Your Website: Here you can leave your comments about how assessment effects you, your community, your classroom. This section is for opinion and personal stories so if you are quoting or discussing something you read feel free to put it in section one.

• Some would assume that since podcasts seem more technical than blogs, you should start with blogs and work up from there. But since students have been speaking longer than they've been writing, it might be better to go the other way around. I would probably want 9th graders to blog before podcasting, but I might have kindergarten students podcast before blogging. -Aaron

Part 3: Interview

Here you can suggest guests for the show or questions you want to have answered. I will try to get to as many as possible.

• Two possible guests that immediately come to mind are Bob Sprankle (Who used to manage th Room 208 Podcast) and Bre Pettis, who used to produce video podcasts to show what his Art and Language Art students had been doing. Of course my guess is you've already thought of both of them. -Aaron
