SUCCESS!!! end of Day 3

Iria and I finished recording our poem. We had to re-record a few times, but in the end everything worked out. I was a tiny bit disappointed because we were unable to find the right sound effects for our poem, but I guess you win some lose some.

Also, Iria and I came up with a cute idea for an anticipatory set for the lesson plan, but I can't tell you shhhh it's a surprise.

Day 3: Podcasting

Finally, I found the poem for the group lesson plan. Today, my partner Iria and I are going to record the poem today. Hopefully our voices do not sound too horrible in the recording. I want to see if I can add sound effects into the poem because our lesson is going to be for middle school level and sound effects are always fun. Fingers crossed...

Day 2 in the Computer Lab

Today is the class is second day in the computer lab. We just finished assessing our own lesson plans. My overall lesson plan looks good. I love my set. It is a YouTube about grammar school students singing "The Triangle Song." It very catchy. You can check out the video by clicking on the following link.

I have no idea what to expect in today's class. Honestly, GTIF. But I do we continue to learn some more neat and useful tips about podcasting.

Oh yeah, I still cannot find my poem online for my lesson plan with my partner. We are going to have to make a trip to the library.

Day 1 of Podcasting

Iria and I just finished our recording for the podcasting. Wow our voices sound hilarious. I am very surprised how easy podcasting really is. We used the website www.podomatic.com to podcast.

Our link for our first podcast ever is the following:

This was an awesome class. I finally learned something entirely useful that I can use in the future as a math teacher---yes a math teacher. This should be fun.

Okay Day 1....

So it's Day 1 in the computer lab and already I can not find the poem that my partner and I were planning to use for our plan lesson. The poem is "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein.

Far the as podcasting is concerned, I am interested in learnig about it. It would be my first time using podcasting so I really don't know what to expect.

Second Lesson Plan

On the second lesson plan, I plan to work with Iria Landin. We are planning to create a lesson plan by intergrating poety and geometry.

Below are a few websites that we both have looked into.

We are currently still brainstorming a lot of ideas, hopefully everything comes together in the end.
