Post Sept 29

We finally got it done! Our podcast is complete as well as the effective questions, now we can move on to our lesson plan. Prof. Luongo has said we will get new dates on when we will teach so in the mean time Sarah and I will be coming up with a great lesson plan to present to the class. I am soo excited today was a success.

Effective Questions

1. Why do you think Corduroy sad in the beginning?

2. Why didn't the little girls mother let her buy Corduroy?

3. What was Corduroy searching for when he left the shelf?

4. Who found Corduroy roaming the store late at night?

5. What happened at the end of the story?

Pre Sept 29 part 2

As a result of old computers and Saint Peters not really caring about all classes the computers in this room are really slow. This caused me to have to do my opening blog on my phone. It was a good improvisation but this set us back a few steps but now we are up and running and can continue strong.

Pre Sept 29

Today we decided as a class that instead of individually we would team teach. I am very excited about this because this would allow me and sarah to collaborate with our great ideas and come up with one great lesson! Today we plan to finish our podcast and effective questioning. We are determined to complete the tasks on hand.

Podcasting End

Now that the day is ending Sarah and I have come up with an effective plan of podcasting the story Corduroy. The only problem we have is that the background noises made it harder for us to podcast. Also once we had a good podcast, Sarahs computer froze and we lost the podcast. It is a minor setback and we plan to be successful with the next try, we just won't use Sarahs computer.

Podcasting Plan

Sarah and I haven't come up with a plan on how we hope to podcast the story Corduroy. Hopefully everything goes well and we have a lot of fun. I hope to find sound effects that we can possibly use to emphasize certain parts of the story. I am very excited and am glad to be working with Sarah.

Trial Podcasting

Working with Sarah is very exciting, but this podcasting seems to be a bit unsettling. Sarahs computer hasn't began to work and it is sooo hot in this room I could fry bologna on the floor. :-) These headphones make me look like I'm about to fly a plane and I just want to sleep. Aside from the issues, podcasting seems fun!

Podcasting

I do not know anything about podcasting.

I would like to learn how to make podcasting more avaliable to inner city schools. It would allow students to have easier access to books and lessons plans and other things just in case they miss school or something comes up.

Some advantages to podcasting include easier access to files. Students would be able to just download things and have them readily accessible on their desktops at home.

Some disadvantages would be to the students who don't have computers. They might miss vital things because they don't have that type of technology at home.
