Class App- a Podcast by Jody Humes

My podcast, Class App, reviews apple and android apps for high school students. I want to primarily focus on free apps, because I think students will be more likely to use them if they do not have to pay anything.

This week my podcast reviews a couple of free apps that help students prepare for SAT vocabulary. One app, by Lucidify, is much more traditional than the MindSnacks app, which feels much more like a game.

For my next podcast, I would like to review apps that will help students stay organized.

Tips and Tools for the Successful Student Podcast

The Road to Good Health ... a Podcast by Lisa Cmunt

The Road to Good Health is a podcast geared towards high school students in a nutrition content-based course. The podcast will outline different elements of nutrition as well as specific tips, tricks, and advice to keep students on the "road to good health." The podcast's aim is not to make students feel the need to be "skinny" or "ripped," but to encourage healthy dietary and lifestyle habits. The Road to Good Health references teen issues and interests in a fun and entertaining way.

The first episode of The Road to Good Health is all about eating right. It talks about correct portion sizes, natural food sources and their importance to a nutritious diet, friends and their influence on your eating habits, and food as a fuel for the body. Reference to zombie apocalypses and Olympic athletes keeps kids interested.

Finch - Wordslaw Episode 1

I've always wanted to do a writing podcast. I am really grateful that this class has given me the opportunity to do that. Wordslaw is a podcast for anyone who loves to write. Age and ability don't matter. I am going to look at different part of the writing craft through my own thoughts and from interview with others. The first episode look at how I got started as a writer, what it means to be a writer, and 8 things i think every writer needs.

Podcast: Sax with Barry

My podcast series will provide adult learners with weekly lessons on how to play the saxophone. The concept I have in mind would be targeting adults who always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, but don’t have time to take private lessons. The series start with an historical introduction to the instrument and the basics of putting it together, where to place the fingers and how to form the embouchure. With the podcast learners would be able to listen, pause, and playback segments with the goal of familiarizing the student and allowing them to produce a sound after the first episode. The podcast format will allow me to provide examples of what it should sound like for the learner to use as reference.

Subsequent episodes of the podcast would teach and demonstrate specific techniques of how to play the instrument, how and what to practice, and provide suggestions for artists and recordings to go to that demonstrate great technique and sound.

Episode 1: Personal Responsibility

We run a charter high school that has both onsite and online programs. We are often baffled by questions we are asked by people interested in our school. I thought it would be fun to share some of these comments in an entertaining and, hopefully, educational way, and voila', the EZschool.com podcast was born!

Enjoy!

Hi Everyone!!

My name is Michael Kriscenski and I have worked as a college counselor in Connecticut for the last 18 years.  I have a Masters Degree in Counseling and am a licenced Counselor. 

I am in this program to maybe start a new adventure.  I have seen how technology has been introduced to colleges to a point where students are demanding more technological services than my college is currently offering.  It is my goal in this program to learn how technology in education works so that I can start to design technology from a student services perspective.  My hopes are to take the technology that we have today and make it more user friendly, try to add that "human touch" that I find most services lack.
