Kristen Dooley's PODCAST media type="file" key="podcastkd.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This is a good story for students because it uses an animal to represent human emotions. It is good to show these stories to students because they learn about hard topics but through an easier way to understand. Using animals as script to real life stories is a great tool because they can connect to the stories as well.

Elizabeth Miller's PODCAST media type="file" key="Desidirata.mp3" width="240" height="20" I recorded my favorite poem, "Desiderata," by Max Ehrmann. This poem was written in 1927 and talks about the beauty of life, and being happy. I would use this in an English lesson to introduce poetry and show students that not all poems rhyme. I would also use this to get students to think. It is an interesting poem to interpret.

Lindsey Potter's PODCAST

media type="file" key="potterwav.wav.mp3" width="240" height="20"

I recorded a compilation of riddles and raps for my high school Biology class. One of the main topics of the course is Cell Biology and students often have a difficult time memorizing the names and functions of the various cell organelles. “Miss Potter’s Riddles and Raps” Podcast could be used in the classroom as a summative assessment to determine if students can accurately match organelle names to functions in a witty and fun approach.

Jon Englebrecht's PODCAST media type="file" key="JE PODCAST.mp3" width="240" height="20"

I recorded an explanation of the SOLVE method. SOLVE is a strategy for completing word problems. Student's can use it for any time of problem, but it is especially helpful for word problems, because it helps them take the information out of the story and organize it.

Jake Guillen's PODCAST

media type="file" key="jakeISTCpodcast.mp3" align="left" width="240" height="20"

I recited one of my favorite poems as a child from Sheil Silverstein's book //Where the side walk ends//.

Elizabeth Fawcett's PODCAST

media type="file" key="Fawcett Podcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

For my podcast, I recorded the poem "Sleeping Father" by David Chin. This poem would be great to use in the classroom with a lesson on imagery. The teacher could use this podcast to incorporate a different form of media in the classroom. The podcast would be helpful to auditory learners who do not often get to hear the texts read aloud to them. The poem is full of imagery and funny things for the students to imagine.

This podcast is an excerpt from a Dr. Suess poem entitled " Oh the places you'll go". This poem is inspirational for students who may be having difficulty with self esteem in school however this poem is most commonly used for graduations.

Danielle Doller's PODCAST

media type="file" key="Doller Robert Frost.mp3" width="240" height="20"

For my podcast, I recited the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. This poem has given me a lot of inspiration throughout my life. Whenever I found myself at a crossroad and didn't know which decision to make, I would think of this poem and realize that the easy way out is not always the one most worthwhile.

Stephanie Barber

media type="file" key="Going To Holland Podcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This podcast is a poem by Emily Perl Kingsley called, "Welcome To Holland." The poem is geared towards parents and it relates having a child with a disability to going on an unplanned vacation. As a special educator, I may present this poem to a group of parents (some who have children with disabilities, some who do not) as a way for them to understand that perspective of raising a child. It may help influence the parents who have typical learners to be sensitive and more understanding to the parents of children with disabilities. This would be a great way to grasp the attention of my listeners and relate to my auditory learners in the audience.

Samantha Hartman This podcast is a reading from the book “Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi”, a math adventure written by Cindy Neuschwander. This narrative is perfect to use as the motivation stage of your lesson plan in a high school geometry class when the students are learning about the origin of the number pi.

Sara Vann

media type="file" key="vannPodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20" This podcast is a reading from a poem off an online teacher's website, the author is unknown. I find this poem to be both informational and inspirational. The life of a teacher can sometimes be out of hand and hard to handle. It is important that teacher's realize how important they are and how significant their existance is in the lives of people, both young and old.

Dana Bolden's PODCAST

media type="file" key="And Tango Makes Three.mp3" width="252" height="24" I read And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell. This book has been banned in many school districts including Anne Arundel county because of its controversial story line. The story of the two males penguins creating a family in the Central Park Zoo is a true and popular one. I don't believe that this book should be banned because there are many students who grow up in diverse family settings and wouldn't have a problem with this book. I believe the controversy comes from parents not wanting to explain to their children that this is just the way some families are structured.

Candace Spadaro's Podcast

media type="file" key="spadaro podcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

I recorded a poetry reading of "Whatif" by Shel Silverstein. This poem is a great explanation of the kinds of random thoughts that creep into children's heads. If we relate this poem to a class setting then I would say that teachers need to be understanding of students home lives and situations outside of the classroom in order to better there education and classroom experience and maybe provide them with the differentiation needed. This poem can be read as a silly poem but also has serious hints to it that teachers should understand of their students.

Alex Bell's Podcast

media type="file" key="bellEisenhower Podcast.mp3" width="240" height="20" General Eisenhower delivered this speech on June 6, 1944, commonly known as D-Day. The Allied Forces were planning to invade the beaches of France and make a major offensive against the Nazi forces. This was the Second Front Stalin had asked Churchill and Roosevelt for to lessen the Nazi attacks on the Soviet Union. I believe this is one of the most important speeches delivered throughout history. The speech represents the feeling of anxiety at the time, the fear of the Nazi threat looming in Europe, but mostly the great hope the Allies had in this plan succeeding and turning the tide of the war. The music I used was "Honor" from the soundtrack from the HBO miniseries "The Pacific" (which was not tied to the European Front of the war but I felt the music suited the speech).

Chelsea Hughes media type="file" key="hughespodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This is my favorite poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow titled //Birds of Passage//. This poem is about an onlooker who decribes the rhymes of poetry and the sound of a birds song. I feel strongly about this poem because I too feel as though poetry is musical and beautiful as that of the song of birds.

Kelly Borror media type="file" key="borrorpodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This is a short excerpt of a speech given by John F. Kennedy to Rice University in 1962. It shows the significant progress we have made in such a short period of time with regard to scientific exploration and discovery. I believe it is important to promote scientific exploration and discovery to further the country's progress, as Kennedy states in the speech. I picked the music because I thought it helped to create the mood I believe the original speech had when it was given.

Amber Farb This is a short poem on how to form numbers. It is for young students (preschool/ kindergartners) who are learning how to write numbers. This gives students a fun way to connect literacy with mathematics. It also helps student remember how to write number for students who are auditory learners.

Mackenna Bush

media type="file" key="MackennaBushPodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This a short abstract poem done by E. E. Cummings. Cummings tries to justify that our reality may be intertwined with our dreams and at some point to tell the difference between the two may be difficult. Is our dreams, just within another dream, within another dream? It really served as some food for thought, as well as being beautifully written.

Charles Watters

media type="file" key="Watterspodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This is my short podcast talking about Nova Scotia as my home and a brief history of the province.

Rob Scott

media type="file" key="Scott. Podcast Charlie Chaplin Speech" align="left" width="240" height="20"

This is my podcast. This is Charlie Chaplin's speech from the movie "The Great Dictator." This is a speech about how people should run the government and not a single person. He talks about the military not taking arms up against people to enslave them. He preaches equality of man, the fear that technology will consume us, and that we have to power to unite for the common good. This is an overall great speech that comes from a man who was given everything and instead turned around and gave it to the people. This is great for any lesson on equality and a great example for students to use for when they pick a speech to read. This is structured for a high school World History class.

I recorded Whatif by Shell Silverstein. As a child me and my mom read his poems everyday. This poem is about someone who lays down to go to bed, and suddenly their brain is filled with thought of the day and life. Having these thought before bed can make it difficult to fall asleep.

Becky Buesgens I recorded the "Sorting Hat Song" from JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. This is an excerpt many children, and adults, can relate to today because a love for the Harry Potter Novels has swept through more than one generation. media type="file" key="Buesgenspodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

Jessica Rotberg Short description:

Shel Silverstein is a great poet and this particular poem is entertaining and fun. I chose this poem because my favorite snack from when I was a kid was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My favorite part about eating the sandwiches was how it always got stuck in my teeth. I will definitely rethink this idea now that I have read this poem and how it took so long for the king to get his jaw unlocked.

media type="file" key="the giving tree.mp3" width="240" height="20" Gavin Kretz The Giving Tree teaches a valuble life lesson for more than just children. Shel Silverstein creates the story of a big tree who loves a young boy. Thoughout the boy's life, he is constantly taking from the tree and neglects to give it attention. By the end, the boy is now an old man, and the tree has nothing left to provide. The old man just sits on the stump of the tree (which is all that remained) and the tree was happy. This story can easily symbolize the difficulties of parenting and why everyone needs to appreciate their mother and father.media type="file" key="final podcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"media type="file" key="final podcast.aup.mp3" width="240" height="20"
