Throughout the semester, i have listened to multiple Podcasts. In these podcasts, I learned so much about the free online resources out there for educators, as well as interesting tools that my computer has already that I had no clue about. My favorite Podcast duo is I would have to say The Tech Chicks. These two have a Podcast show that is absolutely filled with wonderful hints, tips and tools for educators. I learned so many things about the online resources from these two. Some of my favorite websites from them would have to be the little bird tales website. Here the students are allowed to create their own stories by uploading their own images, and text. From there, the next step is to record the student's own voice so they are telling their own stories. Then lastly, the students get to email their stories out to their friends and family. HOW COOL! But I must say that the coolest thing I discovered while listening to the different Podcasts was The John Lennon Bus
The Lennon Bus is a bus that is a mobile recording studio. This bus travels from city to city and school to school to find students with musical abilities. These students then get to create and write and record their own song. It was such an inspiring video that made me so excited. When I was in high school I would have absolutely loved this, and it makes me happy to know that there are students out there who are getting to display their talents to the world through this wonderful opportunity.
