Thanks for the list of YA African-American authors posted yesterday. However, I was 
under the impression the list was of WRITERS who are African-American and write YA 
literature. If that's the case, I have a couple of corrections:
 
Mary E. Lyons (who wrote Letters from a Slave Girl and Talking with Tebe, among 
others with strong African American protagonists) is NOT an African-American 
author, although many of her books are about African Americans. She is quite white 
(Irish, even). See her picture here: 
http://www.authorsontheweb.com/features/0203-irish/irish-authors2.asp  (She lives 
in my hometown, so that is why I knew so readily!)

Also, Bryan Collier is a wonderful African-American illustrator, but he is not an 
author.
 
Thanks again!

Subject: ELEM:The Man with the Silver Oar

Has anyone read Robin Moore's book -The Man with the Silver Oar- to
your elementary class? I loved this adventure book and it's set in the
time frame of 1700s-close to what 5th grade is studying and we're
located just outside of Phila. - where this book takes place. If you
have, I am wondering how it has worked for a read aloud and if you did
more activities with it.

Subject: TAR Middle: Need Standards-Based Lit Group Discussion Prompts

Dear LM_Netters,

I have an 8th grade reading teacher who I am working with to establish
Lexile based lit-study groups. He is looking for discussion prompts that are
standards based (even if it's a different state) that his students can use
as they work their way through the books. If you have any you can share, I'd
really appreciate it.

From:    Clara Bolton <clbolto@KCKPS.ORG>
Subject: elementary book identification

Can anyone help me identify this book for a good friend? She remembers
reading it in the 50s, so late 40s to 50s publication date. A little boy
shrinks and shrinks, he becomes so small that his father makes him a
tiny saddle and he rides a sea gull. She thinks the gull's name was Gus.
The little boy trains an army of mice and teaches them to march in rows.
At the end of the book, the father comes up with some kind of antidote,
and the boy returns to normal size.

She loved this book and I would really like to help her identify it.

TIA,

Dear LM Netters,
Thanks to all for responding to my request for your insights into =
podcasting equipment. I know this is belated but some did ask for a hit =
so I am including the responses I received.  I did look into using Tool =

Once again, thanks to this wonderful sharing group.

Original Post
Subject: GEN: podcasting equipment

Greetings Fellow LM Netters,
            I have an opportunity to offer a podcasting class for
talented and gifted students.  There are funds for equipment and I look
at this as my chance to experiment with a small group before I try a
full class project.  I have done some research about equipment but need
some insight from experienced people.  If money weren't an issue, what
would you order?  How many microphones is workable for a small group?
Do you recommend the headphones with the attached microphones?  If I
venture into videos, do you have a recommendation for a camera? =20
         Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise!!! If anyone
else is interested, I'll post a hit.
************************************************
Podcasting Equipment responses

Took a class on this at the Arizona Librarians Association meeting a =
month or two ago.  You need several iPods with recorders for in class =
recording.  If you are setting up a studio, you need to have at least =
two mic on table stands, a mixer to balance the mics.  You need to put =
blankets or sheets up on the walls to deaden the sound.  That's pretty =
much it.  If you are doing video, get a camera that downloads using a =
USB cord instead of a firewire.  If that is not possible, you will need =
an updated computer laptop that has a slot for the firewire to download =
from the camera.  We have a Sony small hand held that does a pretty =
decent job...Get Pinnacle software for making and mixing your podcasts =
and you are set.  I like it better than Audacity (PC) and Garage Band =
(MAC).  Good luck...we just wrote a grant for setting up a studio in the =
library.

darlene price, cybrarian
*********************************************
Sounds exciting! The first thing I would recommend is using Mac =
computers if at all possible. While you can certainly do this using =
Windows, it is a lot more powerful on a Mac.=20

Our portable podcasting lab has=20
Macbook laptops ($1200)
iPod Nanos ($150)
Belkin TuneTalk iPod microphones ($70)
Blue Snowball microphone ($90)

A bit on each of these. iPods are a nice addition because with the =
TuneTalk microphones they can do double duty as players and very =
portable recorders. You could also just buy some high quality digital =
voice recorders, but the iPods go over better with students. These are =
great for doing mobile recording; we went through a 19th century =
historic village to record interpretors, for example. The microphones =
are very nice, and allow recording for two people without moving stuff =
back and forth. Headsets are probably a better choice for individual =
recording, and you might want to get a few. I would recommend Logitech =
USB Gaming headsets ($50) as high quality with a nice noise canceling =
microphone. The TuneTalks are more versatile though.=20

The Blue Snowball microphone is a VERY high quality USB microphone. =
Shure makes one as well, that is a studio type microphone that goes into =
a USB plug. These will give you a MUCH better sound quality and will =
really bring out that rich radio voice. I love how the snowball makes me =
sound!=20

For a camera, the question is if you want to do video podcasting, or =
just picture enhanced podcasting. Mac's GarageBand makes enhanced =
podcasting with still photos a breeze. That is a great way to get =
started with a transition as it means smaller file sizes and no need to =
do all the shot setup of video. Once you move into video, things get =
more complicated. Now you are talking about lighting, backgrounds, and =
people as well as sound quality. For video, the biggest thing is to make =
sure the camera has an external microphone jack. You have to use an =
external microphone to get any kind of decent sound.=20

Unless you have done video before, I would start with podcasting or =
enhanced podcasting with still photos. There is a beauty and an art in =
voice that can be lost with video.=20

Number of microphones for a small group? Depends on setup. Working in =
pairs cuts the number in half. Having scripting and other tasks can =
reduce it more. But if you are going all out, more microphones help. =
Maybe have a few kinds - portable, headset, and even a nice one.=20
********************************************
If money weren't an issue... I am not sure.  But since money is ALWAYS =
an issue, here's what I used for a simple podcast experiment: Audacity =
software and an cheapie microphone from a local electronics store.
******************************************
Go to toolfactory.com
I just purchased a "podcast" set as well as a camera set. They are =20
fabulous! The book that comes with it is incredible.  I check out the =20
voice recorders to kids to take home and record stuff - it's very =20
easy to take to classes and let them do their recording there. The =20
carrying case is lockable and absolutely unbreakable!

Prices are reasonable and they work with you.  Purchasing a 'set' =20
also gives you license to the podcast application - which is  a =20
student-friendly version of garage band [I use both and for class =20
stuff, this toolfactory is an easy learning curve].

I have 11 voice recorders - which gives us usually groups of 3. =20
I could only afford 7 cameras but I have other sources of digital =20
cameras.  These are digital photo cameras but they record up to 3 =20
minutes of video.  I just bought some video cameras but you'd have =20
to  let me know if you want to know the kind -
*****************************************
One microphone for four students is a good bet. I have not used the
headphones. Microphones are very inexpensive. Podcasting is super easy
and the kids will love it. No recommendation on a camera-haven't bought
one.
*****************************************
Hi - I've written a few books on podcasting projects and would be happy=20
to help.  Feel free to give me a call at 248.203.3192 and I can help=20
with your questions!
