2nd Episode

After our first episode we critiqued our podcast and performance. From that we came up with a list of goals to accomplish by the end of the year - ranging from bumper music in the podcast to pictures for our blog. Each student then had to select one personal goal to work on.
This time around has been awesome to watch. The students are all enthusiastically working towards their personal goal. Whether it be focusing on their word choice, using more expression, or speaking clearly these kids are completely active in the process of achieving their goals. From editing their writing to practicing in front of a peer, I've never seen this class so engaged and willing to work together. It's great to see.

Sharks Cast,

I am writing to ask for your permission to use your podcast in a presentation to other teachers that I will be giving in a couple of weeks. I want to show teachers some of the cool ways students are using podcast to learn!

Thanks!
