Hello 2nd graders.
This is lovely work you have done. I wish that all my pupils would be just as good at working together!
I will show them your advice on how to work together to make a really great podcast. There are a lot of sensible thoughts in that and not only for making podcasts.
Great work!

Great job, second graders!
I am a college professor from Rochester, NY and will share your example with my own graduate students when they begin learning about podcasting and what their own students will be able to achieve with podcasting.

I can tell that you did a great deal of thinking, research, planning, writing, revising, editing, practicing/rehearsing, and that you probably really enjoyed the whole process. I really like how your voices are clear and you are speaking with enthusiasm and good expression. I love the snake voice!

I hope you learned not only about your animal, but about yourself and your classmates. Working with others to get something done is not always easy, is it. And, when you are making something that perhaps people all over the world will hear or read, it really makes you want to do your best, doesn’t it.

Well done! I hope to hear more things that you learn about this year.

You students did a wonderful job with the podcast. It was the next best thing to being there. I hope you don’t mind but I am going to show your site to some teachers that I get to teach about podcasting!!
Keep up the good work!

What an AWESOME podcast! I can tell you learned a lot about animals! How lucky you are to have such a talented teacher to guide you through the process of producing such a great podcast! Keep up the good work and keep reading and learning! I am a computer teacher in Gadsden, AL. I am going to be starting a study of animals with my third graders soon and would like to share your podcast with my students to kick off our unit of study. Have a great school year!

Hello everyone. This is the 2nd grade class who recorded the podcast!
Thank you for all the nice comments. Thank you for listening to our podcast. We were very surprised to find all the comments on the blog today. It made us very happy to know that so many people from all around the world were listening to OUR voices. We are so excited and proud that you enjoyed it. Thank you for recognizing our talents.
@Mr. Maas Here is some advice from us to you:
* Listen to several examples of podcasts before you record, because it will help you know what you are doing.
* You have to work at being a good team member, because if you are not you might not finish on time. You have to cooperate.
* You have to concentrate to get the job done.
* You have to use an interesting voice, so people would want to listen. Nobody wants to listen if it is boring.
* You have to very quiet when others are recording, because other sounds will be picked up.
* You need to work hard on your scripts with your team, because otherwise your writing won’t make sense.
* Practice reading, practice speaking, sometimes you have to re-do it because it does not sound right.
* Use a lot of interesting words and think a lot about your script.
* Before you start recording, rehearse your lines.
* You will have a lot of fun and you will learn a lot.

Hello, class! I’m from Bishop, CA

I love your voices and the sound effects. The music is great. You did a wonderful job in working together to create an exciting script and story to teach us about animals.

I’m in college to learn to become a teacher and I will definitely remember your podcast as an example of what I can do with my own students someday. Thanks for sharing this!
