  2. Our Backgrounds • We teach in the Kenton City Schools. • Patty teaches fourth grade at Espy Elementary. • Shelly is a reading interventionist at Eastcrest Elementary.

  3. How do Children Benefit from Making a Podcast? • It gives them a potential audience of millions for their work. • It's great for developing literacy skills (writing scripts, setting up interviews etc). • It allows children to develop and practice their speaking and listening skills. • Podcasts can be interactive, and the audience can be invited to send their comments, giving valuable feedback to the children about their work.

  4. What is a Podcast? • “Podcasting" is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.

  5. How Can I Create a Podcast? • 8 easy steps. • See the attached help-sheet in your packet • We do not currently publish our podcasts on the Internet with an RSS feed

  6. Step #1 • Start up GarageBand and click on New Podcast Episode.

  7. Step #2 • The media library may be open, close it by clicking on the media button.

  8. Step #3 • You will record your audio into the Male or Female Voice track. Click on it to highlight it.

  9. Step #4 • Click on the Rewind button and then Record. You can now start speaking and GarageBand will record your voice. To stop recording, click the Play button. Rewind Record Play

  10. Step #5 • Add intro and conclusion music. • Click on the Eye button to see the different loops you can add to your song. • Click Jingles and you can see the different jingles sorted by genres. • Select the jingle that you want and drag it to the Jingles track.

  11. Step #6 • Once you let up on the mouse button, the loop will be placed in the timeline. • You can now drag your recorded podcast (the purple) so that it will start playing at the end of your jingle.

  12. Step #7 • To add notes for your listeners, click on Information. • On the right side of the screen the information window for the podcast will open. At the bottom of the screen you will see an area for description. • In this area, you can describe your podcast.

  13. Step #8 • Once your podcast is finished, you’ll need export it out of Garageband. Go to Share->Export Podcast to Disk. • We have the students drag the podcast to our Shared folder.

  14. Peer Teaching • Peer teaching/coaching with multi-age students • In our classes, older students record themselves reading a book. Later a younger student can follow along as the book is read to them.

  15. Online Book Reviews • After reading a book, a student records a review or critique of the book. • This enables other students to listen to their classmates’ opinions of certain books before they read them.

  16. Informational Reporting • After learning about a topic, students can create a recording of their learning to share with others in a radio broadcast format.

  17. Reading and Comprehension Strategies • Students can record themselves performing retellings and summaries of a book they have read.

  18. Current Events • Students can report their opinion on a current event and respond to other students’ opinions

  19. Weekly Radio Show • Each show has its own host, theme, and unique segments which can include things like “Bad Joke, Good Joke,” “Holiday Spotlight,” “Poetry Corner” and much more.

  20. Create a How-To-Report • Students can record themselves giving directions on how to complete an activity.

  21. Other Ideas • School news - a great way of telling children and parents what is going on at your school. • Children's work - children love sharing their work. Ask them to record their own stories, or write reports about an activity they've tried at school • Interviews - with members of staff, children, members of the community, and visitors to school.

  22. Helpful Tips for Podcasting • Have students listen to other podcast before beginning their own. • Have students create rough scripts for use during the Podcast.
