Description: Create and share 3 minute audio recordings. You can create a FREE account on the website for your class. Have students log into the app with your username and password. Whatever they record syncs to your account online.

Hints/Tips:
  • Requires a microphone (newer iPods and iPads have them built in), but you would need to plug one in if you have an older iPod Touch.
  • You can create a FREE account on the website for your class. Have students log into the app with your username and password. Whatever they record syncs to your account online.
  • Recordings/Podcasts can be sent instantly to itunes from the website.

Integration Ideas:
    • Math
      • Have students record their problem solving steps and save the recordings for others to listen to.
      • Create a "Math in the Real World" radio show/podcast. Have students give examples of how math is used every day.
    • Science
      • Create a radio show/podcast about (insert science topic here). Have students come up with short audio skits to review the concepts for a test.
    • Social Studies
      • Record conversations as famous people in history.
      • Create a radio show/podcast about the Bill of Rights.
    • Language Arts
      • Students build fluency by reading out loud and recording their reading.
      • Teach students to take running records of their own reading/recordings.
      • Create a Book Review radio show/podcast where students give a 3 minute book review of a book they have read.
    • Other
      • Create your own teacher podcast and record each days important topics (in 3 minute segments). Students can log in and listen to them to review what they missed.
