Right now I’m using this to give encouragement and anticipation of what is coming the next week. As soon as our class web site opens they here my greeting. Next week our star students will start doing the recording of the message as a way for them all to gradually work up to podcasting reports. They are so excited their voices will be on the internet!
Yea! What a great idea to use your star students. I am so excited you are podcasting. We are anxiously awaiting more podcasts. Thanks for the encouragement.
