(updated 7/9/11)
My podcast series is called The Infinite Word - Sharing ways to expand your wordly wisdom. It's designed for students in approximately grades 3-6 and covers words, language, writing and authors.
During each podcast I plan to cover:
- Word of the day--its definition and context
- Quotes from famous and not so famous authors
- Author bios and books
- Writing tips
- Writing/Word game websites
I updated the podcast on 7/9/11, adding an intro, outro and transition sounds between each section of the podcast. This extended the time to a little over 8 minutes.
Enjoy!

I like that you did a podcast for grades 3-6. Do you plan to use podcasts in your classroom? What are some ways to use them for younger students?
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteAs an online teacher, I plan to create these and post them as weekly sessions for my students. one of the ways I could use the podcasts with younger students might be to pick an author, read a story aloud and ask questions for students to answer, or inspire them to draw a picture or write their own stories based on the one I read. I could also offer them a word challenge, asking them to use the word in their speaking and writing. I am very excited to learn the steps for podcasting and use them in my class/school.
