Podcasts Make Smart Kids

My students need a microphone so they can podcast much of what they learn in class. Students love to use technology and there is no better way to learn a subject than to teach it.

Mr. U. University High School
Fresno, CA Grades 9-12

Science Pod Casting inspires all. I teach a diverse group of 11th graders what life is (Biology). My students are incredibly bright and love to express what they have learned.

It's tough to purchase all the technology that students are familiar with. I know many of them are eager to learn how to pod cast their ideas and this microphone and my computer will allow them to try it.

The microphone requested is the last piece of equipment needed to get them started expressing their ideas and answers to various biological problems facing our communities. Pod casting requires a deep understanding of the subject which is my main goal in this class.

You will make it possible to add one more positive element in my classroom; something the kids are looking forward to using to expand their learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
