Below are two examples of video podcasts that I helped teachers create this year. The first is the general music teacher who is preparing for her end of the year musical program for the fourth grade students. Unfortunately she does not see all of the fourth grade students across the district, so she wanted to come up with a way to still teach them the music and motions so they could take part in the program. Many fourth grade students took advantage of this podcast that was published on our school website to practice before the program. The second video comes from a physical education teacher who wanted to record the motions of the line dances she teaches each grade level. This way, students could again practice at home and review the steps as she explains them. Both teachers were excited at the response of the administration, faculty, and community to their productions. I used a simple Flip video camera to record the teachers and easily uploaded the videos to our school channel on SchoolTube.com.
