This is our first attempt at a PodTour. Students decided which places were important for visitors and new students to know about. They took pictures of these places and then wrote descriptive sentences to go with each picture. Through the magic of technology it is now on an iPod Video and is a portable tour through our school!

A recording of a guided reader that students worked on.

Students use GarageBand to create recordings of stories that they are reading in guided reading groups. The recordings are then placed on iPods and shared with the class at the listening station.
