Please join the ETLSO on March 21st from
9-10 PM EST for a virtual chat on podcasting with Joseph Baker. Mr.
Baker will discuss podcasting and how he utilizes the technology in his
High School earth science classes located in Cobb County Middle School,
located in the state of Georgia. He is an Educator Astronaut Teacher and
integrates his NASA experiences into his classrooms, which you can read
about on his web site.
If anyone has had any
experience with podcasting please feel to log into the ETLSO Moodle site
anytime before the 21st and post your experience under the heading
podcsting, we would love to hear it. We also encourage you to list any
specific questions or topics on podcasting that you would like Mr. Baker
to discuss and we will try to make sure your questions are covered.
