Broadcast Journalism students at Flora are podcasting. This is an excellent way to get started with podcasting since it only takes about 15 minutes from recording the annoucments, exporting the file as an mp3 using Audacity (a free download) to uploading it to the webpage. And what an impact it has made with the school community!
"Make it work." Words taken from one of my favorite reality TV shows "Project Runway" became part of my vocabulary as we opened school. There are many things we cannot do yet (because of construction woes, etc.) but we ARE making it work

Hi all!
For those of you who don't know, and are interested, I will be one of the new Information Technology Specialists at A.C. Flora High School in Richland One. The Media Center is newly rennovated and we (along with wonderful volunteers--thank you ITS from around the district) have unpacked and shelved 400+ boxes of books and equipment this summer.
I also wanted to quickly share with you something that I learned how to do at an ITS workshop yesterday. My family and I spent the evening playing with it. It is called Voki and can be found on voki.com. There you create a character, attach your voice to it by recording through a cheap mic, and you instantly have something fun. How awesome is this! Just think of the possibilities with your students.
