The Little Soldier-Podcast

The Little Soldier
1. This lesson is intended to allow the students to experience an excerpt from the Christmas play that they will perform. The purpose is to convey the mood of scene three of the performance, and to help the performers grasp the idea of a climax in a performance.
2. The target audience will be the third fourth and fifth grade classes who will perform to play.
3. First, I write a script of the action taking place in scene three. Next, I will make selected slices of narration to be introduced into selected areas of the music. The music chosen is named FUM, FUM, FUM (4:51) from the CD entitled Christmas Extraordinaire By Mannheim Steamroller.

The NXT STEP - LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Blog

This has the potential of becoming one of my favorite blog sites.  I'm introducing my students to the Lego league in hopes exposing them to other uses for the computer and hopefully build an interest in robotics.

SMART Document Camera with 60 Sec Phil - Podcasts

Watch this video on how to use a SMART Document Camera by 60 Sec Phil
Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5_XH_a5bTc&feature=search


When learning about document cameras in the classroom and other SMART products I subscibe to 60 Sec Phil podcasts.  I would them to be short, concise and informative.  I was able to share the videos with my teachers and help us determine if we should purchase cameras. 

The podcasts are also available in iTunes.

This is step one of a series of videos about how to create rough dash and pebble textures in 3ds Max. The blog for these videos can be found at http://www.mentalboutmax.blogspot.com/. I would use these videos as an enrichment for my advanced level two students. I am always in need of things like this for advanced students who find the projects in our curriculum too easy. I addition, I think it will expose them to "real world"scenarios, since these tutorials are done by professionals and they talk about real industry concerns in them. Sorry for the late post. But this part of the assignment got lost in the shuffle.

SMARTBoard Lessons Podcast

The goal of this podcast to share lesson ideas that use technology to engage students in learning with a focus on SMARTBoard Interactive Whiteboards between educators. Teachers can listen on lunch breaks or recesses as they mark papers or on their way to school in the morning via their iPod.
I love my SMARTBoard. I am still in the learning mode but I have acquired a wealth of knowledge just by listening to podcasts on youtube. I love it!

Creating Lifelong Learners

I chose Creating Lifelong Learners blog. There is a wealth of links and helpful information there that I can use to perfect what I am already doing as a teacher.

Charissa's podcast

I chose to view all about math podcasts. It was a wonderful site for students. it gave examples of how to find circle, center, diameter, pi just to name a few. It was a little try and the man had a different accent, which made it hard to follow at times. I was impressed on how good of a example they used for the podcast. I will definitely show my students this, however it is a bit dry like I mentioned before.

NPR's Children's Books - Jamie Reynolds

I signed up for NPR's Children's Books RSS feed (the feed is at the bottom of the page). It has author/illustrator interviews, book reviews and stories. I know a lot of my little readers would be very interested in the question and answer session with Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Many of the clips are form All Things Considered, but they have many from other programs on NPR. I am excited to hear important/interesting book updates from NPR now and then.

Jacqui's podcast links

I subscribed to Teaching Ideas at http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/ . This site has TONS of ideas and examples of how to use podcasts in the class room. Also great links to other educational links.

Molly's Podcast Choice

I had a hard time finding a podcast that I found interesting and that was going to be beneficial to my teaching. I first thought the "All about Math" podcast was it-it is a video podcast that is animated and I thought that I could even show it to my 5th graders since it was supposed to be elementary math. After viewing a few it became clear that the material was way to high for my fifth graders and the animation was kind of flat and creepy. I would not recommend it.

A lot of the math podcasts I found were higher level math, so I moved on to Smartboards-since I will be teaching with one this year. I finally found a site: Teaching with Smartboard and I have subscribed to that. It is hosted by two guys who are pretty funny. Each video podcast teaches you something new that you can do with the Smartborad and the Smartboard software. It also is very current, the last post was July 11th-so I think this will be a very active and helpful podcast to follow.
