I had actually planned on doing the podcast in GarageBand (and since I already made the template, you can download it and the folder of pictures to use by <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/20Feb22\/2ndChinaPodcast.zip\">clicking here<\/a>), but then I found out that they had already done a GarageBand podcast, so I taught them how to do a podcast in Pixie.  First we chose a good font and size for our title, then we searched the Stickers for pictures relating to ancient China.  We typed in words like &#8220;bronze, silk, compass, fireworks, kite,&#8221; and of course, &#8220;China.&#8221;  Then I showed the students how to change the color of the stickers by gluing them down and using the paint bucket.  Finally we recorded our voices telling about ancient China, and I exported them as QuickTime movies.  You can take a look at a couple of student samples by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/20Feb22\/2ndChinaTabriz.mov\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/20Feb22\/2ndChinaTyesha.mov\">here<\/a>. One of the great things about podcasting is that it helps improve student fluency, and this is especially important for ESL students.  <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/20Feb22\/2ndChinaIkran.mov\">Here&#8217;s a sample<\/a> from an ESL student in the same class. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, second graders at Laburnum Elementary made podcasts about ancient China (SOL 2.1) using Pixie.
