Brent Coley
Each day, a student in Brent’s
classroom is assigned to be the
Roving Reporter . His or her job is to write short article
about what took place in class that day. ColeyCast is Room
34's very own podcast! Recorded by the students, each
broadcast highlights some of the exciting things we're
learning in our classroom. Mr. Coley has created specially
designed PowerPoint presentations that can serve as color
flash cards to help you review some of the concepts
studied in class.
School: Tovashal Elementary Schools Grade: 5 Location: Murrieta, CA

Kathy Cassidy
Kathy teaches a class of 6 year olds in Moose Jaw, Canada who are inviting the world into their classroom to help them learn.
In her class they call fluency “reading smoothly”. She had her students each write about their reading & then recorded each of them reading a couple of pages and posted it online. Kathy has also established blogging buddies, where pre-teachers in college read & comment on her student’s blogs. This enables the students to receive feedback as well as help the soon-to-be teachers see ways of using blogging with their classrooms.
School: WestMount School Grade: 1 Location: Moose Jaw, Canada

Maria Knee
Each child has their own blog, off
Maria’s blog. They type entries every couple
of weeks. If they have a photo they take
of some work [they can post it] or do a project.
They type like they write—representing the sounds
they know with letters they know. The only
keyboarding worked on is encouraging them to
use two hands for the two sides of the keyboard.
School: Deerfield Community School Grade: Kindergarten Location: Deerfield, NH

Kathy Shields
Small Voices podcast: produced by Kathy Shields, as a kindergarten teacher and now as a 3 rd grade teacher,
she experimented with podcasting, a
Promethean interactive whiteboard, student blog posting, & purchased 10 OLPC’s for her classroom & overseas.
School: Creek View Elementary Grade: K & 3 Location: Alpharetta, GA

Carol Broos
The fourth graders start
on Sound Studio and the
keyboard to record their stories. They
compose music and produce projects that
involve multi-media. Students comment on
each other’s compositions and share files
within the school. Sunset Ridge just started a district-wide
podcast website www.pod29.com where students and
teachers can post podcasts on the web.
School: Sunset Ridge School District #29 Grade: 4-8 Location: Northfield, Illinois

Allanah King School: Appleby School Grade: Primary School Location: New Zealand Working primarily with 9 – 10 year olds, Allanah King encourages her students to blog, podcast, skype, and create wikis.

YOU
Please share the ways you
are taking advantage of new
opportunities within your classroom.
Please don’t boast about the tool – boast
about the learning. 
