- 13. Lesson Plans (fromApple) iPod Reporters Using an iPod to record interviews for a newspaper story allows students to concentrate on an interview while it is happening rather than trying to take notes as they listen. This is especially helpful to younger students or those who face challenges with hearing, writing, or attending to multiple tasks. Oral Histories During the course of study in American history, students investigate the theme of what it means to be American in a pluralistic society. One way students can explore this question is by conducting oral histories with a family member and creating a presentation of the interview. Students begin to develop a better understanding of their own family history as a means for framing a discussion and an understanding of who they are themselves. Learning Math With Music Many students learn number facts faster when they can use mnemonics, rhymes, and songs. Students love to create their own memory rhymes and songs, which allows them to personalize math facts. The portability of the iPod can help with developing these math skills by allowing students to listen repetitively to the math facts inside or outside of the classroom.

Editor's Notes
- #13 Podcasts can be created for a variety of reasons.Capturing interviews for news stories is a beneficial aid in concentrating student focus.Oral history recordings permit students to experience the lives and times of family, friends, and notable citizens. Story Corps is an exemplary example of oral history recordings. Equipment is available for you to fully participate with Story Corps. “This I Believe” is another excellent example. High school educational curriculum is available from that organization.Teachers (or students) can record lessons for time-shifted review. Lessons can be augmented with additional learning material in each Podcast.Students can record their in-class presentations or record presentations of school visitors.A sound-seeing tour stimulates our senses with places we might not experience first-hand.Advocacy for a product, event, or political position can elevate student vocabulary and sentence construction.There are several possibilities to develop lesson plans centered on storytelling, either fact or fiction.
- #14 Here are three unique lesson plans from Apple Computers to illustrate how other K-12 educators are using Podcasting in teaching. iPod reporters promises to aid students who are challenged with hearing, writing, or attending to multiple tasks.With an understanding of their family history by collecting oral histories, students begin to better understand themselves.Learning math using mnemonics, rhymes, and songs are excellent strategies. Recording those types of lesson allow student to listen to them repetitively.
