__ Standard I: Technology Information Access, Evaluation, Processing and Application __ Access, evaluate, and process information efficiently and effectively __ Standard IV: Assessment for Administration and Instruction __ Use technology to analyze problems and develop data-driven solutions for instructional and school improvement. __ Standard V: Integrating Technology into the Curriculum and Instruction __ Design, implement and assess learning experiences that incorporate use of technology in the curriculum-related instructional activity to support understanding, inquiry, problem-solving, communication or collaboration. __ Standard VI: Assistive Technologies __ Understand human, equity, and developmental issues surrounding the use of assistive technology to enhance student learning performance and apply that understanding to practice. Project Description: For this podcast, I sought the help of my students to engage them in learning and hopefully communicate ideas with their peers. This podcast is a video podcast made with clips from the Flip Camera and compiled on the Flipshare software.

Using student responses and video/audio components was the goal to create a more multi-sensory approach to an introductory lesson to nouns.

By having this available to students to reinforce in instruction and help study online this is a cool tool. I enhanced this by allowing students to be active participants in the lesson presentation. I provided summaries in clips between each component. Additionally, I utilized skills and knowledge from the building assignment. I applied the same music to the background to maintain consistency. =Reflection of Activity:= This was a great assignment to engage my students. I had difficulty, however, editing and transitioning between clips. I realized that in future podcasts videos I would need to have students speak louder. Additionally, I needed to help them practice more to establish more "pause" space between takes. This would allow easier and clearer editing for the building of the podcast.
