End of Day 3

In class today, Veronica and I came up with a good 5 questions relating to our story that we will be using in our lesson plan. For the rest of the class, we discussed the activities, assessments and procedures we will be using in our lesson plan when we teach the class together. We counted how many people are in the class and how many handouts we will need on the day we need to teach. We have a variety of activities for the class centered around White Rabbit's Color Book and the topic of Colors. It should be a fun and interesting lesson.

5 Questions on story

1. What are the three main colors in the story?
2. What are the colors created from the three ?
3. What feelings did the bunny think he would get from the three main colors?
4. Do you think a brown bear could create the same colors as the white bunny?
5. What do you think would happen after the bunny was just right?

Day 3

Today, we are supposed to finish our podcasting and start writing five questions. We finished our podcasting last class so the story is now online, listen to it if you'd like. Today we handed in our lesson plans I think I did good on it. I have to start typing the effective questioning for our story. I hope it snows on thursday. :)

End of Podcasting day 2

We did alright for the first time in podcasting. The first time Veronica and I read the story my voice was too loud, but we read the words clearly and with expression. The second time recording I tried to lower my voice and still keep the same expressions, and I think it worked pretty well. We might want to re-record one final time to try to get it perfect next time we have class. The podomatic site is pretty easy to use once you become familiar with it.

Podcasting Day 2

Thinking back to the last class, I remember the majority of what I learned. Going into the website, recording sounds, saving it and using it for my podcast are all things I'm pretty sure I remember how to do. If I don't remember how to do it, hopefully my partner will. We have to read the story for the podcast in a clear voice, and I'm kind of sick, but hopefully everything will work out. Today it is really hot in the computer lab. I am ready for the weekend, but I have a lot of papers and work to do. See you later.

I am beginning to understand how podcasting works. I don't like the way my voice sounds when it's recorded but there's not much I can do about that. The podomatic site isn't that complicated, so hopefully I will become familar with it and succeed at doing the podcasting of our story correctly. It's so cool the technology that I can record something, put it on a website, and then put it out for the world to hear. I could see how this can help children that want to hear a book rather than read it.

Podcasting

Learning about pod-casting should be interesting because I've never done it before and I know nothing about it. I'm excited to learn about how podcasting works and how it can help me in the future. I did not write a lot because I had a slow computer. More to follow.

Partner and book

My partner is Veronica and the book we're using White Rabbit's Color Book by Alan Baker
