Podcast examples

Postscript: The Communiqué from the 2013 Future of Education Summit identified five wicked problems facing education. One of those was how to preserve the digital expressions of our culture and knowledge. I've seen that first hand as the server no longer exists that hosted some of the earliest podcasts my students had done in 2005. That's too bad because they were excellent audio pieces. To remedy that I'll start collecting some recent ones from my students.

• Abbie and Jackie on gun control (2013)
• David's interview of Aidan McDonald, a student who's a guitarist for the band The Departure

Communiqué from the 2013 Future of Education Summit

Original post (the server that hosted these files crashed, so they no longer exist. Sorry)
Here are some examples of podcasts the students did this year in my 9th grade Journalistic Writing class. They represent a wide variety of writing modes. The students were highly engaged in the process of composing for online audio.

• Iraqi journalist speaks to our class (news story)
• Harp (column writing)
• Christmas memories (whole class mix)
• Author Dana Reinhardt visits our school (news & review)
• Football (sports)
• MySpace (opinion)
