3rd Grade Famous Americans Podcast

Third graders have been studying famous Americans (SOL 3.11), so to show off what they have learned, they created podcasts using GarageBand. I created a template and gave them a folder of pictures to use which you can download by clicking here. First I showed them how to drag the pictures from the folder to the podcast track. Next the students recorded their voices on the vocal track. They explained why each American was important. Finally we added music using the song library included in GarageBand. The results turned out great. Take a look at a couple of student samples by clicking here and here.
