Podcasts and Photostory are very easy to use, and the kids love to incorporate them into their projects or book reviews. Last year, the 5th grade used podcasts to compare and contrast the North and the South armies during the Civil War. Each student researched a different aspect, including history, important person, confederate/Union soldier, etc. They completed a podcast in the library. They felt like they were putting together a performance. It really was fun for them and me.
They also were able to write book reviews and come into the library to put it in podcast form. Here is the link to my library web site. Go to Eagle Podcast to hear one.
