When I read 1st Graders Create their own Adiobook, I thought it was a great idea. I love this idea because it gets the children excited about reading. I also liked the fact that the children were so enthusiastic about the assignment that they wanted to re-record their part if their voices did not sound how they wanted them too. Not only is this a creative way to get kids reading, but it also is a good way to improve their listening skills as well. The kids have to read their part, and because they want it to sound good, they will re-read the story. It improves their listening skills because they have to follow along and read the script as the podcast is playing. I also liked that they added dinosaur sounds and other sound effects. I thought the added sound effect at the beginning of a new chapter was a great idea for children who might have lost their place when following along.
Judy Scharf Podcast Collection
This article is very informative. I really like the list of podcast ideas that Ms. Scharf listed. I watched the video, How to Create a Podcast, and it taught me a lot of things. Before watching this video, I honestly had no idea how to make a podcast. This video shows every step of making a podcast, even how to download the software. I will definitely be referring back to this video in the future when I make my podcast.
The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom
The Benefits of Podcasting in the Classroom was a very interesting video. I really enjoyed seeing how the sixth grade teacher incorporated podcasting into his classroom. I thought it was a creative idea to have other teachers help him read the story in character. I think listening to story that has sound effects and people playing the characters will keep the children's attention more than just reading straight from the book. I also liked the part that showed the 3 kids creating their own podcast, they came up with a creative way to explain the different regions in the United States. After watching this video, I believe podcasting can be an important teaching tool to use in the classroom.
Are you ready to podcast? It won't be long. Well written.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristen!
ReplyDeleteI think you explained your view of "First Graders Create their own Read Along Audiobook," rather well. I agree that this type if teaching is exciting for kids. The reason that this is so important is because children carry a short attention span. So the more fun and creative the idea, the longer we can keep there attention. I could see nothing better than to keep childrens attention and to have them learn at the same time, sorta fun learning.
I noticed just a couple grammatical errors, so just be sure to proofread before you post. But overall, this was a great evaluation and keep up the good work.
You do a great job explaining each article. I really like the article "First Graders Create Their Own Audiobook." I agree with you that this improves their reading as well as listening skills. This article showed me that this is something that the younger students can enjoy. I look forward to using podcasting in my future classroom. I did notice one thing that needs to be edited. It was probably a typo. You need a u in Audiobook in the title. Keep up the good work.
