Back From Break
Welcome back. I hope you all had a chance to rest and relax. I was lucky enough to get away to warmer weather last week. It was nice to put on flip flops and shorts and not get goose bumps!! Everywhere I went I was reminded of how much technology has changed things. One day I actually powered my phone off for a few hours and didn't use any technology. You can see the results in the picture below (okay I guess technology was used to take this pic!)

| Kingfish off Miami (I caught some wahoo, dolphin, bonito, and these kingfish-lots of fun!!) |
That day now seems weeks away, and I was reminded how much temperature can differ in a few hundred miles; from 90 to 45 to be exact!! We are back in school and need to focus on the task at hand- PODCASTING!
This week you will be recording your podcasts. If you have not yet finished your scripts, please do so. I have not yet finished going through them; but will do so this week. Once you have finished recording, please start your editing. Be sure to use the resources you have found to help with this. There are some suggested in my prior blog posts and you have pinned some on your Pinterest boards. Have fun with this project. If you have time, please publish another blog post. I will be expecting at least 10 by Friday.

Finishing Up Those Scripts
This week will be a short one for half of my students. We don't have school on Friday which means many of you will only have one class this week. It is so important to finish you scripts during that one class. You want to leave for vacation with scripts written so when we return to get right to recording! Please be sure to time your scripts before you print them. Take a look at the rubric and make sure you have fulfilled all the requirements having to do with your script.
Once you have finished with you script you will be exploring GarageBand on your iPads. I have created a "Garageband Exploration Guide" to help you. Make sure you are able to do everything listed on this guide. You can use your Pinterest resources or the "help" menu for GarageBand. If you would like to find an pin other resources to help you please go ahead and do so.
**Be sure you have completed the self-assessment of your 1:1 iPad Timeline project and submitted your collection form so I may assess it as well. If I cannot see it, you will receive a "0."

Moving Along......
This week will be dedicated to two types of media- podcasts and blogs. You will start off working on your podcast scripts. Most of you have started them, but a couple of sections need to have the initial lesson. I will also be giving you the rubric for this project. Please be sure to use the "Tips" document as you are writing your scripts. You may make a copy of the Podcast Script Template to place in your drive or to print and complete (old school.) The video on my January 14th blog post, "Copyright Terms," will show you how to copy a Google doc for your own use. Remember you will need to be signed in to your Google account to do this.
You will need to complete the form for you ILT section found on the Timeline Collection Form. I need to take a look at your finished iPad 1:1 timelines and assess them. You will be given a copy of the rubric for this project. This is the rubric you and your classmates created. Please be sure to put your name and ILT# on this rubric. You will then need to open your project and complete this rubric or "assess" yourself. I will then take a look at your project and your rubric and give you my feedback and your final grade. Please take this seriously and look at your work with a critical eye.
Once you have finished creating your script and submitting your Timeline Collection Form, I would like you to read it to a classmate or you could try recording it as a test run in GarageBand. I need you to listen to your steps to see if your script makes sense and be sure your audience will be able to follow along!! If you choose to make a recording; it will not be your final one; just a trial run.
During the second class this week (ILT 14 & 16- this will be your class #1) I will be at my NISL class. Mr. Carme will be with you in the lab. I am "in school" but not "in the lab" on Wednesday and Thursday. During this class you will be creating and publishing a new post for your homepage or passion page of your blog. Before you start on this post, I would like you to log in to your Pinterest accounts. (Username is Google email and Password is the usual) and create a new board. **You may use your iPad or your computer for this part of the lesson. You should be able to complete this task in 15-20 minutes. This board will be a place to hang some resources for your podcasting project. Check out the this video for some help creating your new board. "How to Create a Pinterest Board video." Once you have found 5 good resources to pin you will get started on your new blog post. I would recommend using your computer instead of your iPad to create your blog post. Blogger is not as "user friendly" on the iPad. You need to get this post uploaded by the end of class and I'm afraid you may not have as much success on the iPad. The choice is your's, but you have a deadline to meet. Please take out your BPS Blogging and Commenting Guidelines and review them before you start this post. If you have "forgotten" your folder, there is a copy of these guidelines in the "Workstation Resources" folders by your computer. I have been noticing many errors in your posts and would like you to take a moment to review my expectations before beginning. Please be sure to include and image and/or links in your post. Remember to check for capital "I's" and spelling errors. Your post should consist of at least 5 solid sentences with variety and a "voice." Think of a topic that is interesting and exciting. Be sure to "upload" images; don't just copy and paste them. There are instructions for this in your "Workstation Resources" folders. Be sure to include an image link to give credit unless you have taken the picture yourself. Once you have completed this post, you will need to have a classmate edit your work before publishing. Please do not rush this post!! I need to see your growth as a blogger shining through!
If you should finish with this post before the end of class, please either read your blog subscriptions on Feedly or search for a new podcast in your Podcast App on your iPad.
PS I have added a "search" gadget to my blog. This should help you find information a bit more easily. Hope you enjoy it. You may want to add this to your blog as well!
