Greetings to you! If you haven't had a chance to check out Radio Willow Web on our website at www.mpsomaha.org/willow, take a look! Apple has just posted an article on their website about Podcasting in Education and Willowdale is one of three sites featured! The website is located at www.apple.com/education/solutions/podcasting/.
Podcasting is a wonderful tool for education. It is like an old-time radio show, but what I Iike about ours are the marvelous links that can be viewed while listening to students. We currently have 13 podcasts, the latest being about our great city of Omaha, Nebraska. The podcasts are "for kids, by kids," but I find as an adult learner that I have learned a lot!! The ranges of topics include different grade levels presenting all curricular subjects, as well as book recommendations and pillars of character from our Character Counts program.
The jazzy music clips and jokes add special interest to the listener! Both the listener and the students involved in writing and broadcasting benefit from this wonderful learning experience! Check out Radio Willow Web, and I think you’ll see why Apple chose it as a featured site!
