First Grade Podcasts
After learning to use Audacity in class this past week I can see a few uses for podcasts in first grade. My students love listening to themselves read. Audacity is user friendly enough to allow them to work on their own. They could record themselves reading a passage and play it back to critique themselves. They could do interview with each other to work on their oral communication skills. I think recording a Mother's day or Father's day message for mom or dad would work. WOW..many possibilities!

Sharon I love this idea. We could totally do this in the primary grades. Besides the kids love hearing and listening to themselves. It would be great practice for them as well!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh! Mother or Father's Day, great idea! I'm always looking for things to do when those holidays creep up on me! They could make their parents a slideshow using powerpoint and record their voice over it, telling how much they love mom/day. I am soooo using this one : ) Thanks Sharon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Sharon! An interview would be so precious to listen to!! Let us know if you do it and how it turns out!
