This document outlines a professional development plan for four Grade 2 teachers to learn how to use podcasts in the classroom. The plan includes analyzing the learners' needs, designing a workshop to model and practice creating podcasts using Audacity and PodBean, developing materials over winter break, implementing the workshop in February, and evaluating its effectiveness. The workshop will introduce podcasts, demonstrate the tools, provide a sample podcast and tutorial, and have teachers practice recording an interview podcast.

4. D – Design – Learning ObjectLearning Goal: The learner will use a podcast to record an interview.Tools: Video of how to use Audacity to record a podcast and upload to PodBean. The resulting video will be uploaded to YouTube and then embedded into my Digital Portfolio page.

5. D – Design – 1-to-1 Coaching SessionLearning Goal: Using Podcasts in Grade 2 curriculumTargeted Audience: Grade 2 Associate TeacherMaterials: Curriculum documents, Audacity, PodBeanTimeframe: February 2012

8. I - IMPLEMENTATIONRecruitment Plan: Ask the Grade 2 teachers in my placement if they would be interested in learning how to use podcasts in their curriculums. If not, I will ask at the weekly faculty meeting for interested people.Scheduling: I will use Doodle scheduling to find a convenient time for participants.Evaluation: I will construct a Google Forms evaluation for my participants to complete after the workshop and the 1 to 1 coaching session.

9. E - EVALUATIONWhat I learned about teaching others how to use technology:Possible ideas to discuss in your reflection:Use of ‘teacher talk’ to highlight technologyUse of tutorials and learning objectsUse of curriculum documents to start thinking about tech-enhanced instructionUse of evaluations to improve your instructionUse of several types of technology training to support learners
