Creating Podcasts

A podcast is a form of audio broadcasting using the Internet. Podcasting involves making one or more audio files that can be downloaded and played with a media player. Teachers learned about podcasts then watched as the presenter created one from start to finish. Teams prepared their scripts then used laptops and Audacity, an audio recording and editing program to create their podcasts. There are several uses in the classroom for podcast by teachers. They incorporated music, voice, and sound effects in their final products.

13807 • Using Data Wisely: Making Assessment Matter for Everyone - Ocracoke

Once we understand what the data says, we can take ownership of it and use it as it as a tool to inform ourselves and strengthen our practice. In addition to learning how to interpret your formal assessment scores, you will learn how to create your own reliable classroom assessments. You’ll walk back into your classroom with a number of tools that you can immediately use to improve instruction and to understand your students’ needs more fully.
