Grade 4 students have been working on the process of recording their first podcast the past couple weeks and we are finally done! Students were asked to think about why they were excited to be in grade 4. Their responses were creative and varied. Some thought about favourite subject areas, favourite school activities or what they were looking forward to throughout the year.The recording application used for this podcast was Audacity. This 'easy-to-use' application is great for recording and editing audio files. Using a microphone and a laptop, small groups of students took turns recording their voice, listening to the quality of the recording and rerecording their audio file if necessary. After the recording process was completed, the audio file was uploaded into PodBeam. This free web tool converts the Audacity file into a podcast sharing format available for upload to the school blog.

ReplyDeleteI am really happy to hear about all the wonderful things that you are going to learn this year in Grade 4. I heard many students talk about learning French, Music, Art and designing simple machines in Science. This type of thinking exercises a different part of your brain. It is really good that both sides of our brain get a good work out. I know everyone in Grade 4 is going to have an awesome year. I look forward to other stuff that you will post on your blog. Keep up the great work.
