Importance of Posting Work

Wow, I really enjoyed listening to the elementary chorus group, they were awesome!!!

Although there are several ways to post your work on the Internet, three that come to mind are: Podcasts, Vodcasts, and Blogging.

Podcast by Elementary Students
Podcast on iTunes
My group made a podcast about blogging. Making this podcast took work from all group members to make it flow nicely for the listeners. It gives lots of information in a short period of time, for the audience. The listeners could learn while listening to their iPods. The podcast shows our instructor what kind of time and effort we put into creating our work. He can tell that we had to research how to do a podcast, and about our subject. The end product gives the students a since of accomplishment. When they know that more than just their teacher will hear it, they will try harder to make it the best they can.

Students Vodcasting
Vodcasts can show so many talents a student has, such as musical, acting, and much more. It takes a lot more of the student to make a vodcast, students can be even more creative. The students in the video that we watched for this blog, were wonderful. If it weren't for their teacher posting it, they never would have been able to share their talents with the world and especially Stevie Nicks. Wow how awesome for this opportunity! In some of our past homework assignments, we saw middle school and high school students using video for their projects, some made game shows, some news, and even their own documentaries. It can show the teacher so much about the time and effort they put into their assignments. Plus the students really seem to enjoy it and learn more when they're having fun.

Student Blogging
How to for Student Blogging
Blogging can show a students work through their words, links, pictures, and videos. They are able to right paragraphs about what they are learning, like keeping a journal of their work. But this journal can have some creativity with color, font, pics, and much more. They also can have feedback from their teacher, peers, parents, and even others around the world. This will help them do their best work if they know others can see what they've done. This can also help shy students that have a hard time speaking up in class.
