Podcasts


Please checkout our AMAZING PODCASTS!

In 3rd grade students researched people that changed history in class. Each class practiced doing research on some history makers-- then students picked a person they were interested in researching.

In library, we learned about podcasts and what makes them enjoyable to listen to. Students spent a week listening to podcasts and brainstormed what they liked about listening. The following week, students learned about the structure of a podcast. They discovered that podcasts usually: 
  • Have a catchy introduction
    • Give the host's same
    • Give the name of the podcast
    • What we are going to talk about today
  • Information about topic
    • Give information about your topic
  • Conclusion
    • Thank the audience
    • Ask audience to join next time
We discovered that podcasts have names that fit the topic and make people want to listen. Each class brainstormed names and then voted for their favorites. I am very excited for you all to listen to:
  • Facts From the Past (3 Ostendorff)
  • The Interesting Truth (3 Bros)
  • Rewind (3 Hessler)

Before recording, students discovered that podcasters need to pay attention to the rate of their voices, their expression and volume. They then practiced reading their scripts.

Lastly, students came to the library to record their podcast using the ANCHOR APP

6th Grade Choice Projects

 In 6th Grade, student are learning about the Civil War. In Social Studies they did research on Absent Narratives from most History Books for this time period with their classroom teacher, Natalie Ramirez. She provided them with resources to learn about people involved in the Civil War that many people don't know about.


Students were then able to choose one of the tech skills we learned this year to present their information. Students shared their learning via Google Slides, Canva, or Google Sites.

Check out our great work:

Infographics with 6th Grade


In 6th Grade we used Canva for Education to create infographics about health topics the students researched. Students learned about the elements of a good infographic in their literacy class and then used those skills and the CANVA app to show all that they had learned.


6th graders--if your url is copying too long.... put it into this url shortener: https://tinyurl.com/app/ then paste the tiny URL in. (sorry for the extra step!)

Fur Trade Web Sites


Sixth graders have been leaning about the Voyageurs in their Social Studies Class. For their final project, students were asked to journal in the voice of a voyageur 
We have been learning about creating web sites for students to share their learning about the MN Fur Trade.  Students have been doing Online Learning these past 2 weeks. We met with students over zoom and helped them create web pages to share their learning. Here is a quick video showing how to upload your web page to this page.

Students typed their entries up in class, and their teacher and I worked with them to create a website using google sites.

Check out our great work!
