I have been working with two 2^nd grade classes in my building with podcasting. They have recorded a couple of podcasts with me this year and when the opportunity came up to collaborate with another classroom, I called upon this terrific class of 2^nd graders again. We are collaborating with a 2^nd grade class in Killeen, Texas and will be sharing podcasts throughout the year. Our first podcast is an introduction to not only ourselves, but to the state of
Michigan as well. It’s the first time we did an enhanced podcast of sorts. We used

Microsoft Photostory 3 to record our podcast and used pictures to enhance our message. We have already begun our second podcast for our new buddies and the student’s enthusiasm is running high. I have already seen (heard) a difference in some of the students with their speaking voices. Some of those that have a quieter voice are now speaking a little louder. These students are very good at using expression in their voice and it doesn’t take too many tries to record their lines. Check out the Vidcast below and you can listen to the rest of our podcasts at our webpage or subscribe to Mustang News Radio in iTunes.
