Thing 18 – My Adventures in Podcasting Land

Once I got over the fear of sounding like a blabbering idiot, the podcast was actually fun. Evoca seemed pretty user friendly for me. I can see where you would need some time and do a lot of planning to really present a polished program. All the poscasts I visited showed me a different way that I could use this tool in class.

This past school year, in the spring, we had an assignment where students were to write a very simple 4 bar composition, using various keys, notes,symbols…etc that they learned during the year. Some used only 4 bars but others just went wild and came up with some very creative compositions. We highlighted some of those in class and picked one student composition from each class to be played by the student during our spring concert. A podcast would be an excellent way to additionally highlight these student’s efforts.
