Very excited to start podcasting :) Thanks for the great info!

I think that the podcast information will really help all of my writing students! I am excited to use them more often in my classroom!

Learning more about podcasting was very helpful for me. I am going to create a whole class podcast about how to write to a prompt to be used as a how to reminder for the class.

I am very excited to start podcasting. I really enjoyed the winter poem activity as well. I can't wait to see what my students come up with for podcasting!

Learning how to create a podcast was definitely the most exciting part for me today. I am going to try and use it to have my kiddos start orally summarizing when we get sick of writing summaries! What a fun way for them to do it. I would love to use it to send home some resources for some of my low math kids as well.

most useful was going in and working with garage band and applying it to helping a student in the classroom who I presently scribe his writing.

I really enjoyed learning the garage band, and podcasting.The winter activity was a lot of fun. I am really excited to get a jump on it! I was also relieved that we had some time to work on our blog. It is very new in my building, so I didn't have anyone that I could really ask question to. So I was really happy we had time to play! Thanks!

I am very excited to start using Garage Band and podcasts. I have a few students in mind to use Garage Band to help them with their fluency and hopefully excitement for reading.
Podcasts will give them motivation to write for an audience as well as editing their work.

Thanks for sharing all of the information in regards to blogging. I think this will be a valuable addition to my writing curriculum. I am looking to target this for 2009-2010

I am very excited about completing more podcasts with my students. I have more ideas of how to use them and can't wait to try! I am also excited about sharing my new learning with my teammates. Thanks for all the great ideas and time to work. As always my head is spinning with ideas I can't wait to use in the classroom.

I went home that night and made a podcast of my example of the 5 paragraph essay we have been working on and showed it the next day. Enthusiasm for finishing the essay skyrocketed, and kids were excited about having the podcast as an option for publishing. We also used wordle to make a puzzle of character traits. Fun stuff! Thanks!

I plan on using wordle for brainstorming vivid verbs. Also, to go alomg with the kids' research projects on the planets, I will have them podcast their papers and/or research. My class will love it!
