To prepare for this session, here are some initial ideas to think through in preparing your podcast:
- What topic will you be covering in your podcast? (This will likely depend on your subject area or grade level).
- What are the key objectives/understandings you’d like your students to walk away with after watching the podcast? (Look to your planner)
Make notes on your planning document you brought with you.
Activity 2: How to make a Podcast/Video Outline or Storyboard
- Watch the previous videos describing some tips and best practices for strong podcasts/videos. Make yourself a checklist of best practices from these videos using Google Docs and post it for other participants to see in Blendspace. (Username - [email protected], password - August2014)
- Now, take the topics and key understandings that you want to work with. Write an outline or storyboard. How will you introduce each aspect of your outline? What will you say? What content would you like to use? You may work in cohort groups for this engagement.
- Gather necessary materials (photos, videos, text, links, etc.) Breakout unconference sessions may be used to further develop technical skills using a variety of tools (Google Sites, YouTube, Flickr etc).
- Create an outline or storyboard for a podcast/video you’d like to create. (Begin downloading some images you’d like to use, make note of videos or web links you’d like to include, etc.). Be sure to remember Creative Commons!
- Post your outline onto the Blendspace. View one other participant’s storyboard and give constructive feedback. Again, consider the implications of your school’s academic honesty policy.
