States of the Northeast Podcasts

Purpose: This year my class made Northeast State Podcasts that were accessed through our classroom website. Our Northeast State Podcasts are independently created projects which required students to conduct research via an IPod Touch application called US States. Next, students created an oral presentation which was recorded us iTalk and posted to our podcast page on Edublogs.org.Projects of this nature provide many benefits.
