Walhalla High School: Global Studies

May 16th, 2007

Kay and I are so proud of our little 9^th graders who have just finished the first podcasts for Walhalla High. They researched the explorers in their Global Studies Honors class with Cindy Keese; they decided on a format; they created their scripts; and they chose their music. Then, we went through the basics of mixing (using Audacity) and THEY made it happen. The library uploaded the files, but the students (and Cindy!) did everything else. Check it out at our Podbean site (thanks for the class and the microphones, Bill and Mary) April Libre and Kay Moxely http://whslibrary.podbean.com/ Walhalla HS Media Specialist
