One of my favorite teachers is Mr. Colosi. I first heard of him when I was competing for an Interwrite contest. Mr. Colosi's class won. He puts the tech in the kids' hands and the things his first graders do are amazing! You can check our Mr. Colosi's class by going HERE.
One thing he does with his class is podcasting. Podcasting is really simple with GarageBand. If you followed my TUTORIAL on how to record books in GarageBand, you can teach your kids to podcast. The main thing they need to know is how to record (push the red button) and how to stop recording (spacebar). Then you can show them how to click and drag images and music into the podcast.
I use podcasting with one of my above level reading groups. The goal they are working on is reading fluency, and podcasting helps them analyze their expression, rate, and intonation. It's a powerful self-reflection for them!
Here's a sample I did with my kids this week. If you would like more information about podcasting with your class and a sample script, please comment below.
LOVE IT!
