topic 2 Hurricane Katrina Podcast

The topic of the podcast that I chose was Hurricane Katrina. This podcast was a very educational, informative, and heartfelt memoriam for all the lives lost in the devastating hurricane. The podcast was created by year 4 and 5 students in Appleby Primary School located in Nelson, New Zealand. The students are learning new was to communicate using podcast. I chose this particular podcast for several reasons. New Zealand has some of if not the best school systems in the world. I wanted to see what the best were doing with technology in their classrooms. This podcast was not you average podcast created by elementary students. It was polished, creative, professional, entertaining, and well executed. Another great thing about this podcast is that Bloom’s Taxonomy of higer order thinking skills were incorporated throughout the production. This podcast is an excellent example of how podcast should be done in schools. Way to go students and faculty of Appleby Primary School!!!!!!
