Podcasting

I found this podcast about teachers , trading stories on how to get their students up to speed on the new technology.  Teachers Teaching Teachers "A virtual staff meeting with youth voices Teacher - TTT123- 09.24.08 What were they thinking?" by: Paul Allison, Susan Ettenheim, Thomas (Teb) Locke

They are discussing about wikki's and Blogs and how these teachers from around the country are trying the same lesson of digital photography.  They're working how to make the lessons as similar as possible for the kids to understand.  Sarah an art teacher from Maine joined the discussion.  She has her students posting blogs about their art work and how they feel about art in the world.  Blogs for her students are primarily E-portfolios and they're able to critique each others works of art.  Once they get their classes connected then they can have student from the NY school and ME school help each other out.  

The Youth Voices program teachers high school students how to create a radio feature story about an issue that affects their lives and their larger community in which they live.  The workshops are held 3 times a week during the fall, spring, and summer semesters at the studios and offices of WAMU 88.5 , and allow students to interact with professional radio journalists and producers.  The reports are considered for airing on WAMU 88.5 and offered nationally through PRX, an Internet content-sharing platform through which many Youth Voices have aired on station from New York to Oregon.
