Come find out what all the talk is about! You don’t have to own an iPod or even an MP3 player to create and listen to your own podcasts. Learn how to record digital audio broadcasts, edit them and upload them to the web. Teachers can use this new technology to create podcasts of their lectures and class discussions so that students can listen to them again for reinforcement, or, students who were absent 
can catch up on work missed. Participants will also create lessons for their students that require them to create their own radio broadcasts, performances, interviews and more. Learn how this using this tool in the classroom can help auditory learners and motivate reluctant learners. Walk away from this tele class with your own original podcast!
Past podcasts created by educators into include:
- “poetry of the week” podcasts for a kindergarten class
- “welcome back to school” podcast from teacher to students
- “introduction to yearbook” podcast for high schools students

Last night was the second podcasting class in the tele. Stacey taught the two night class to a group of teachers- half were PC users, the other half Mac users. It worked out ok, even though they were using different programs to produce their podcasts, because the tele is equipped with Apple computers that have Bootcamp on it- so they can run Windows programs, too. The Mac teachers used GarageBand and the PC teachers used Audacity to create their podcasts. Stacey reports the class went great! Did you participate? What’s your podcast on?

Last month, the Challenger Learning Center-St. Louis celebrated its 5th Anniversary! Ruth and I were invited to attend the celebration and really enjoyed the experience, especially listening to teachers and students who have utilized its services. Another highlight was listening to keynote June Scobee Rodgers, Ph.D.
