It appears as though Mother Nature isn't quite done with her winter antics. I cannot believe I am going to be typing this at the end of March, but it looks at though a pretty significant nor'easter in the form of a blizzard is heading our way midweek. Yes, I said a blizzard with the potential of a foot of snow!!! Yikes!!! Let's hope this storm heads out to sea and misses us. I mean really....Fenway Park is being groomed for the Red Sox Opening Day 2014, and I don't believe shoveling is on the preparedness schedule.
Oh well, there is nothing we can do but watch and wait at this point. Our schedule is being altered once again this week due to ELA MCAS. Most of my students will only see me once this week. This one class will be an introduction to a new type of media. This media is called podcasting. You will begin class by watching the video, "Podcasting in Plain English." You are familiar with this video format as it is created by the people at Common Craft. I would really love to have you make a similar type of video, but that's a post for another time. After watching this video, you will be exploring the Podcast App on your iPods. You will use the Podcast Exploration Guide for this exercise. Use the QR code I have left beside your workstations to get you to this guide. You will need to toggle back and forth between the guide and the App. I'm really having you work on all those skills. Please record your responses on the Podcast Exploration Response Sheet. I will be collecting these response sheets at the end of class and assessing your exploration. Please be sure to put your name and ILT# on them and write neatly.
Next week you will be presented with your newest project; creating a podcast. You will find out all of the details during our first class. Let's hope this potential winter storm doesn't cause a delay in this process for some of you. Enjoy the start of Spring!!!!
