I have tried a million times to create a video podcast with narration that I created in my classroom. I had the kids write and record their voices talking about their cultural mask projects. I brought everything home and then spent hours as angry as hell. My old version of iMovie would easily let me do everything I needed. The new version does not!!! Crazy and stupid.
I will post the video-less podcast of the kids talking about their projects. Hopefully I will figure it out or create it on my crappy PC at school.
Wait, wait, it may have worked!!!!

It actually worked! Phew...
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the kids' own voices. Did you have them write something they read from? I have considered doing a podcast as a substitute for a paper. I thought that some of my kids would embrace this but I found that many of them were surprisingly voice-shy! What was your experience?
ReplyDeleteAaron - This is a wonderful example of using the technology you have, although frustrating at times, to create a practical and fun project that can be shared on a website with parents, grandparents, etc. It is a way to open your classroom to show what you are working on. I think it really is awesome to use your students. I bet they loved it. I know when I do projects like this with my kids they feel like they own it! Nice work. I know, I do not like the new iMovie at all and never use it. I need my daughter to show me how to use it.
