Where did March go??? One of the things I've been working on over the past month is helping the top readers in Mrs. Hansen's 2nd Grade class create a podcast. These 5 students worked together to share ideas for their section of the 'cast, individually wrote their own section of script, revised and edited their script (rather reluctantly, I must say), and then recorded and rerecorded their own section of the script until they were happy with how it sounded. We wrote the introduction and conclusion as a group, and 4 of the 5 volunteered to read a part of each. All in all, I think it's a fairly impressive piece of work from a group of 7 and 8 year olds!

I edited each recording and put them all together into one file. The Audacity program is astoundingly easy to use, quickly allowing the editor to delete sections of "ums & ahs" and cut and paste between files using the same shortcut keys found in MS Office programs. Very slick.

As always, follow this link to get to my podcasts. The Book Report file should be at the top of the list. http://www.switchpod.com/users/tikasmom/feed.xml
