The most useful tool in GarageBand in an ELA classroom, would be the Audio Recording. Students will be able to use this feature to create several projects such as podcasts that go beyond this app. Students can use the audio recording to create voice overs for character interviews and/or book reviews. Students will also have the opportunity to share/discuss their learning which could be turned into a weekly subject series. I can appreciate the innovativeness that use of this software will bring into the classroom. We are entrusted with preparing our students to be able to compete in a global technologically savvy society and I feel this a step in the right direction.
Podcasts created by students can be hosted on a classroom website where students will have limited permissions to edit or upload information and the teacher will maintain administrative control. These podcasts can be used in various capacities depending on the subject matter recorded.
Monica, I agree with that the Podcasts would be an excellent idea for students to view on a classroom website. Teachers from other contents would be able to use the Podcasts as well.
