Podcasting in English Class
Today you can find a podcast on just about any topic: True Crime, Sports, Self-Help, Celebrity Interviews, to name a few. It is another 21st century skill being taught at Elyria Catholic High School.
In early December, senior students in Mrs. Heinrich’s English Class started working on learning about one of the newest forms of communication, podcasting. Creation of artwork, introductions, trailers, content and outros were explained step-by-step before Christmas Break. Upon return to school, the students were tasked with production of the final project--an authentic podcast complete with a QR code link for listening pleasure. The students could choose any classroom-appropriate topic. Spiritual journey, sportstalk, highschool hot-takes, and many more areas of interest were among the popular choices. Their final Semester Project was a polished podcast, complete with QR code to link with interested listeners.
A new page was created under the Communications tab of the EC website, entitled Panther Podcasts featuring the students’ masterpieces. We hope you enjoy them. Click HERE to be directed to them.
