In case you missed it, I added a link on the right side of my blog to my "Podomatic" podcast site. I linked my podcasts to a site for several reasons. (1) It's easy for parents to access the site by giving them the URL. (2) It helps me keep all of the podcasts organized. (3) Podomatic offers a direct recording feature to record your podcasts instead of recoding it in something like Audacity, saving it to your computer, and then uploading the mp3 file. I plan to use the Podomatic site daily in my classroom.
The first podcast (the one listed in Podomatic) is a student of mine explaining what our podcast will entail. Basically, I'm going to use it as a daily review for parents to find out what we did in class that day. In first grade, it's common for students to say "nothing" when asked what they did in school. By using podcasts, my students are excited to teach their parents how to log on and listen to a student telling what we did. Please disregard all of the "forest themed" comments! My classroom is set up like a forest complete with tents, Moose-matical terms, Literacy Lake, Phonics Fir, etc. So, our "Flashback Frenzy" is also themed around those features. The podcast you'll hear was brought to you by Rex the Racoon! Feel free to listen by clicking on "My Podcasts" underneath my picture or click here if it's easier!

Oh my gosh Laura Ann! I think this is a GREAT idea to get kids involved in sharing their classroom experiences with their parents! The little guy who recorded the intro was so cute! Great idea!!!
