I know it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog article, but this one was definitely worth writing.
Just a couple of days ago, TeacherBytes — a website that talks about cool stuff for teachers wanting to use technology in the classroom — in a podcast talked about how Kid-Cast.com was a great place to upload your Podcast and know they’re safe for everyone to hear!
The site is run by John Woodring. John Woodring is a Technology Integrationist and Web Media Productions Instructor at H.E. McCracken Middle School in Bluffton, South Carolina. Before his current adventure he was a Social Studies teacher at Bluffton High School, Hilton Head Island High School, and the Academies for Career Excellence. John has a Bachelors Degree in History from the University of South Carolina - Upstate and a Masters Degree in Education from Converse College. Besides blogging, John has done both podcasting and video blogging. You may contact John at teacherbytes@gmail.com.
You can listen to his podcast from April 1st 2008, by clicking here. You can also check out some great resources for Podcasting in the Classroom (where John also contributed) at TeacherBytes BCSD Podcast, where you can read lots of great nuances to podcasting as well as watch a few videos!
I can’t thank John Woodring enough for mentioning us in his podcast!
Enjoy, and Happy Spring, Kid-Casters!
We have to admit, we love hearing your voices. Not only are your podcasts great topics, but the sound of your voices just makes them that much better! Your unique voices make Kid-Cast.COM the fun site that it is!
This time, we want you to really put your voices into it and help us out a little. We’re looking for a talented class, or a group of kids, to help us create a signature Kid-Cast.COM introduction theme. We want to use this theme in front of all of the podcasts so that everyone can know about Kid-Cast.COM.
We want you to be creative! Do something unique with the words "Kid-Cast.COM" and help us come up with something fun and everyone can hear your voices! You can get 50 of your closest friends and yell out "Kid-Cast.COM!" or you can sing a little tune with the Kid-Cast.COM tagline: "A podcast FOR kids, and BY kids!"
So, get permission from your teachers, parents, or guardians, and upload your ideas! We can’t wait to hear them!
Good luck with your ideas!
Nick, A Fowler school student from California, brings us a book talk on the exciting story called: Cryptid Hunters.
When their parents disappear, twins Marty and Grace, 13, are taken in by their Uncle Travis, who searches the world for supposedly mythical creatures. After a parachute fall from an airplane, the kids find themselves in the middle of the Congo, where a surviving dinosaur may still exist. While their conservationist uncle tries to rescue the children, an evil cryptid hunter — who kills species rather than saving them — pursues the creature.
This book contains great details about science, animals, the jungle, and survival skills.
