Tech4Learning
Tech4Learning produces a weekly podcast from Euclid City Schools in Ohio. It features discussions about global learning and education related skill for the 21st century. Most topics are short interviews that introduce me to innovative uses of technology in education. I subscribe to this feed and listen to it during my commutes.
I was motivated by Alan Novembers podcast. Is it difficult to subscribe to the Euclid City Schools weekly podcast?
It is very easy to subscribe to the Tech4Learning weekly podcasts. Just go to the link in my comment above, http://ecast.euclid.k12.oh.us/itblog/ and click the tab that says Podcast. It is in the left, just after the Home and About tabs. A webpage describing the 3 easy steps you use to subscribe will be displayed.
Podcast for classroom use:
The Sugar Monster: The Sugar Monster
I wanted to find a podcast that I thought would be interesting to my 3rd graders, but educational in nature. The Sugar Monster is a fictional character who tries to get kids to eat unhealthy foods. Thus, these podcasts will support our Health curriculum. I liked this site because it will be easy for my students to access and navigate independently. Also, the podcasts are like old-time radio shows that tell a short story – short is great for primary students. The one downside to this site is that it does not fit the criteria for being a Web 2.0 feature. This means students may not respond to the podcast through a blog. The Sugar Monster podcasts are truly “one directional” verses interactive.
Blogs for the Classroom:
BBC: BBC Newsround Blog
cbc.ca/kids (Canadian Broadcast Corporation): My Two Cents: reviews by you.
I searched quite a bit for these two blogs for kids. Aside from classroom blogs that allow students to interact with other students, I want my students to interact with current events. So I researched several of the kid news sites to see if any of these sites contained blogs. Interestingly enough, I could only find international news companies. At first I was little hesitate about international news, but was decidedly swayed by the realization that it would wonderful for students to see news from differing perspectives/countries. After all, that is the beauty of the Internet and a global audience! The feature I appreciate about the BBC blog is that blog entry contains a short narrative and then poses a question for students to respond to. The second link, cbc.ca/kids, is based in Canada. This particular link is not called a blog per se, rather it is called My Two Cents: reviews by you. Here students can write reviews for books, movies, music, hobbies, T.V. shows, etc. as well as comment on the reviews of other kids. I think both of these blogs will provide a Web 2.0 experience for a variety of interest by my students – there is something for everyone. There is only one feature that I do not appreciate; in order for students to participate in Canadian blog, they must include their first and last name on the sign up form. Granted, their first name only appears with the comment, I would need to seek parent permission first. The BBC blog does not ask for this and would, therefore, be more accessible.
