In a 2-3 paragraph post for "Thing 7", discuss the following:
- Which features of GarageBand will be most useful in your instructional setting? Explain why.
- How can podcasting help enhance student learning in your class(es)?
- Where would you host the podcasts your students create? How will your students have access to these recordings?
Some features of GarageBand that can be useful for my instructional setting are the audio and music recording abilities, virtual instruments, midi editing, and loops. These features will be useful with the activities that I intend to complete with my students.
Students will be able to create podcasts for the following lesson ideas:
- students can create a playlist or soundtrack for a novel or a chapter of a novel.
- to create a musical piece that captures the mood of a boo chapter or a work of art.
- book trailers or book talks.
- "how to" audio manuals for how to search the library catalog, how to find a book using the Dewey Decimal System, etc.
- talking history journals-immigrant stories, pilgrim stories, pioneer stories, Native American stories, etc.
Ways to host the podcasts are using a class blog, website, edmodo, Google Drive, and/or the cloud.
Great job. I like that you are including a variety of ways to host the podcasts. This will ensure that you find the one that works best for your campus.
