Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I teach first grade in an urban school where the focus is technology. I also am the sponsor of the LionCast Club where students in grades 3-6 create pod-casts.

Pod-casting is a relatively new medium of technology that is beneficial to my students. Creating pod-casts has many educational benefits. Students are able to create a product to share with a potentially world-wide audience. Their podcast can be listed in i Tunes, right along with pod-casts from The Discovery Channel, Disney, and NPR. Knowing that there is a real-world audience gives students purpose and motivation to create a spectacular product. The process of putting together an audio recording is extremely valuable and is certainly a cross-curricular experience.

In order for my students to produce studio quality sounding pod-casts, we need four snowflake microphones for my classroom.

You will make it possible for my students and my club members to create professional and creative pod-casts.
