Thing 22; 2005’s Word of the Year

I must be living in a cave, prior to my technology class I had no idea what a podcast was. I had heard the word podcast before but just had no clue what it was.  I am so glad that I know what it is now, after some searching I can say there are some great podcasts out there and some not so great ones, but just like anything what one person may like another person may hate, to each their own! I really like the idea of having students create a podcast about a subject they have learned about. My standard is second grade science; life cycle and I originally went on a hunt for a podcast on that. During my search I found a second grade podcast entitled “Discovery through a Scientific Lens” it is a “news report” that covers the vocabulary, life cycle and other facts that have been learned during a turtle lesson. I think it’s a great way to review a lesson, a great way see what your students have learned and a great group project.
