I am really excited about the possibilities of using podcasting techniques in the classroom. I recently introduced my students to Audacity, a free software program used to record and edit a podcast. My 8th grade students created a radio station, WRIS 106.2, to produce segments for our middle school. My 6th grade students create businesses for our Real World Technology class, and I had them use podcasting to create advertising commercials. It's so much fun, and a great way to excite students!

I am so glad that I found your blog! You are focused on exactly what I want to use in my classroom (7th grade language arts). I am planning a podcasting project, and I will definitely refer to your blog. What do you know about book trailers? Have you had your students make them? What application/program do you use? My (brand new) blog is focused on the MS lang. arts classroom, but I plan to include a lot of tech teaching info. May I add your blog to my blogroll? If you are interested in mine, the address is: http://somenovelideas.typepad.com.
Also, where do you teach? Is this an all girls school in NYC? I used to teach at Chapin back in the early 1990's.
