[LM_NET] SHARE--> Podcast Project for the New Year

[Deb Waugh <deb.waugh@YMAIL.COM>]

We received a grant for a lab of Apple MacBooks (and individual MacBooks for the 3 
teachers involved) this fall, and have had our training sessions with Eric Erb. 
(He's good, BTW) We'll be using them initially to teach students how to make 
podcasts. We've got three classes who will be our "guinea pigs". The Web Design 
class will be first so that they can assist with teaching other groups. Then a 
group of ninth graders in an advanced level English class will do book trailer 
podcasts, followed by our Film Studies students doing movie reviews. I'm really 
looking forward to teaching these units alongside the other two teachers involved, 
and am sketching out plans for lots of collaborative work among small groups of 
students and hands-on instruction with the computers. And I'm a major convert to 
Macs now, although there are some things I still do on my PC since I've got 
different software on it.

Anyway, did any of the rest of you get in on this grant? What are your plans for it?
