Lesson-Podcast

The content goals and technology I would like to use for my first formal integrated technology lesson plan in CEP 416 is about the American Revolution, and I would like to use podcasting as the technical aspect. The learning goals are going to be centered on the Michigan Department of Education  GLCE’s (Grade Level Content Expectations). For 5^th grade the GLCE’s are…

I would like to split the class into groups and give them each a topic to research (the advantages for both sides, Valley Forge, roles of women, African Americans, American Indians, and France…) For the podcast I would like them to present the material as if they were the ones who were there, go back in time. I think this would make the project much more interesting, and it will hopefully get the students more into it. I want to do this with a podcast because I want each student to be able to access it and share it with their families. With podcasts you can download them on any computer with itunes, or put it directly on an ipod or a class website.
