Could Captain John Smith ever imagined that we would be podcasting his trials and tribulations 400 years after he arrived in Jamestown? I taught a long unit on Colonization of North America in Social Studies, and Jamestown was one of my favorite lessons to teach. I found this podcast after reading a NEA magazine article about students creating their own podcasts about Jamestown. Another site I mentioned is the History Globe site, which has a great role playing game. Learning about Jamestown and early colonization is an interest of mine.
I was generally pleased with my podcast. I tried to edit some pauses and sniffs, but I cut off some of my word endings in the process. I felt like I spoke more slowly than I do in person, so I think I need to practice this media a little more. It was so much fun, though, and very easy. I could have played with it for hours! I could see podcasts really being a part of my teaching.
