Wetoku Interview
media type="custom" key="6656841" I really like wetoku. It's so easy to use and has a lot of neat features. Being able to record and embed the video would be great if you wanted to conduct an interview so that students would have access to a primary source for a research paper. I also think it would be cool for the students to conduct interviews with children from other countries about topics they are learning or just to share ideas. I can see myself using this with my fourth grade students. We learn about the U.S in social studies. It would be neat if they could interview a student about their state and then embed it on the wiki or glogster page I plan on having them create this year.

Another cool feature that I didn't figure out until after is that you can invite people to view the interview live. That would be helpful if there was an interview with an expert that the whole class could attend. I wonder if the audience can ask or chat questions.

I am excited about this class. It appears to go hand in hand with EDTC 640. We are using lots of the same technologies we used in that class. I really want to learn more about podcasting in the classroom. I think podcasting would be a great way for students to practice their oral reading fluency and allow the teacher to assess the student's long term gains easily. The podcasts would also serve a electronic portfolio of the students reading performance.======

I have made a few poscasts using Garage Band on my mac. It was very easy to record my voice, add images and background music. I think podcasts would also make a great tool for students to present information they have been studying instead of doing your typical ppt.======
