Lesson Plan for Podcast!

We created a lesson plan that we can use in the classroom for demonstrating a podcast. The just of my lesson plan is to expose the kids to beign able to know what a podcast is and for them to be able to use it in a way that helps them learn content. The students will each be assigned a president and do a few minutes podcast saying the five questions assigned to them on their specific president. This is a great way to expose students to technology and give them some basic knowledge about presidents! Follow this link to the lesson plan and rubric: Podcast lesson
