With the geographic divide of two school districts, it is not easy to get together….so I improvised!  I listened to the podcast of my group, as posted on the 8th of February.  I then rambled a bit into Audacity, downloaded the LAME plugin, exported to MP3, and uploaded to Gcast (I didn’t use my phone).  I went to post my podcast in the comments but got some nasty errror messages, so here is my cast….

Okay, so I was able to upload my podcast but I know that it could have been done differently.  I tried to use GCast but found out that I could not upload a wav file  – it had to be an MP3.  So I will have to investigate further regarding this situation.  I also tried to use archive.org but was unable to do so there as well. 

Despite my challenges faced with uploading the podcast I have some long term goals for podcasting in the classroom which I may be able to begin as I think about the learning fair coming up.  I worked a bit on MathCasts for last year’s learning fair and found it cumbersome to create.  I suppose I need more time to practice with it or a more efficient way to use the SmartBoard and voice recording….  I am definitely up for learning.   I would really like to use podcasting or MathCasting to create review for certain topics and/or vocabulary concepts that relate to Integrated Algebra.  My mind is always trying to come up with new things and new ways to do things but I find myself looking at the clock in my classroom at 7:00 at night.  Aren’t I supposed to be at home?

Involvement and the means of involving the community is changing. Students are using technology that wasn’t even invented when many of the parents and teachers were in school. Voicethread, iphones, podcasts, classroom websites and blogging along with other types of technology allow families, students, and the community to stay connected with daily events. The knowledge that comes from communication empowers all of us. Families and educators can use this as a base to provide a stronger support system enhancing the likelihood of not only success, but assisting students to reach their full potential. When community and business leaders team up with educators we gain a prospective of what modifications are needed in order to help our students meet the challenges of the future and to become successful community members.
