Podcasts

My online course first session was about assessments in the classroom. We studied different types of assessments, and one of the assignments required me to create a podcast. We used the program Audacity, and the ease of it was really interesting to me. I felt that I could use this in my classroom in so many different ways. I thought to create a online radio show that my students would write and produce, creating a mixture of updates about our classroom, interviews with people around the school and interest pieces that the students would decide on. It would be one way for them to authentically write and publish their work.

The chapter really puts into focus the requirements for privacy in the classroom and online. It was nice to see the process behind establishing a good internet policy.
