Podcasting --Do Now, Tickets Out the Door, Test Review, Homework Help, record a class lecture, record experiment observations --student or teacher generated --post to web site, wiki, Power Point --can organize in iTunes, if available, in alphabetical order To embed in an online interface (iTunes not available): --insert sound (MP3) into Power Point --to put into a wiki, edit page, upload file into wiki --PBWorks will upload file and play in Quick Time. Wikispaces will embed the player. [|Sample Podcast.mp3]

Science Documentaries - Saturday
Omaha Science (OSMP) project - bringing digital media to science in a meaningful way (Grant) --goal: generate interest in science in a different way --science, journalism, students, teachers (HS/MS) --target audience were not A/B students --2 teachers/2 students/media and audio specialists, specialist in the topic area, college students

Content created during the summer Influence Prevention --vocab, prevention tips on the scroll CNN-style --interviews, recaps (news-like) HIV Rapid Testing - community collaboration (teacher/student/doctor/TV journalist)

How can we apply what we learned? How can we bring it to the classroom in a timely manner?

Ideas: Use Flip cam and have students do project updates for teacher to review later (use computer web cam, podcast) Mrs. B's Science Blog (www.mrsbsscienceporch.blogspot.com) - removed poster projects --permission to photograph and post to blog End of Year Assessment --create a video of what you have learned this year

Field trips, science experiment, science safety, video portfolio for conferences, math problem solving, practice a speech for critique, poetry readings, discussions, reading comprehension, Video RAFT, still shots with audio explanation


 * [|GlogsterEdu] –Great for making digital posters. Very student friendly. Don’t use regular glogster(it is not meant for the classrooms)! You can have students use one classroom acount and then have them create their own page. **
 * [|VoiceThread]- Students can comment on your posted pictures. A great assessment tool! **
