I also use WeVideo - it has a classroom set up and you can do video or audio only - I have found it to be very effective in having students do podcasts as well as PSA’s or documentaries for projects. It’s not too hard to learn the basics either. My district also uses Soundtrap. I have only used the free version with students (full use licenses were only bought for certain departments) but students have loved that also for audio and creating music. 

Best!

Allison—
We use WeVideo to create the podcasts and then publish on Anchor.

Allison - I have used Audacity in the past for all kinds of audio recording. It might be worth a look.

Thank you Melissa! This is perfect timing for a family road trip. On the subject of podcasts, does anyone know a CT data-compliant tool for kids to record podcasts? I have a few students interested in participating in NPR’s podcast challenge. 

My best option is audio-only Flipgrid, but I feel like I’m missing something better. Any help is appreciated. Enjoy the weekend.

Good Morning,

Some of you may already know about this cool website, but it was new to me and I thought it could be an amazing resource--both for enrichment and giving students some great models of informational podcasts.


Have a great weekend!
Melissa
