Every day I wake up and read the latest in podcasting news…and I usually get a smile on my face with all that is happening. But today when I got around to checking the news, I was more excited than usual. Growing up in the time I did, we did not see many computers in school so it is obvious we were not recording our own news shows. A school in Maine (3rd and 4th Graders) are now producing and publishing a podcast about their classrooms and what is going on. Im proud to be part of a technology that is effecting the world so greatly, even down to people so young. Here is a portion of their story…
“A group of third- and fourth-graders at Wells Elementary School is finding a global audience for its work through a high-tech form of publishing known as podcasting. The Room 208 Podcast is a weekly Internet audio program written, produced and performed by students under the direction of teacher Bob Sprankle. There have been five shows so far.”
