Introduction: [|A Quick Survey]

The Year of the Podcast - End of year survey Why podcast? Any particular direction?


 * [|What we mean by Authentic Instruction:]**
 * Higher-order Thinking
 * Depth of Knowledge
 * Connectedness to the World Beyond the Classroom.
 * Substantive conversation.
 * Social support for student achievement.


 * How I have used podcasting to help Authentic Learning occur in the classroom.**

[|Poem of the Week Podcast] Example: [|Weighing the Future]
 * 1. Finding/creating a podcast for student interaction.**
 * Explain what is happening. Draw a conclusion about the woman in this poem. (HOT)
 * How does this poem fit as well as deviate from the traditional structure of a Villanelle? (DOK)
 * Explain how this poem relates to the breaking of the traditional and societal roles of women inside the home. (CWBC)(SC)

Other Subject Area Examples:
 * [|The Hidden Universe HD] - a science podcast out of Cal Tech
 * [|Algebra 1]
 * [|Great Speeches in History]

[|Room 312 Podcast] Example: [|Risk Assessment of Alien Invasion] Other Subject Area Examples:
 * 2. Student generated podcasts.**
 * Requires students to read using learned reading strategies. (DOK)
 * Requires students to "manipulate information and ideas in ways that transform their meaning and implications, such as when students combine facts and ideas in order to synthesize, generalize, explain, hypothesize, or arrive at some conclusion or interpretation." (HOT)
 * They need to work together, building on each others thoughts in order to arrive at a general consensus. (SC)
 * Each student is assigned roles vital to the group. Learning how to create a podcast is self-motivating with students wanting to do their best. (S3A)
 * [|Historic Perth Amboy Project] - Social Studies
 * [|Student Art Gallery with Student Music]

[|The Fireside Book Chats] Example: [|Infidel by Ted Dekker - a book review by Ryan]
 * 3. Teacher generated student podcasts.**
 * This replaces the old fashioned book report.
 * Students need to summarize and evaluate the book. (HOT)
 * Analysis of plot structure and characters. (DOK)
 * Other students from around the world correspond with students about their reviews. (SC)
 * [|The students' response to this. Picture_1.jpg]
 * [|Others from around the world download their reviews of books. (CWBC) Picture_2.jpg (CWBC)>]
