Today on the Gen Tech Podcast we have field reporter Sean Sharp talking with Jack Rawles, a 7th grade teacher from Check Elementary School in Floyd County. With the help of his students, Jack creates a feature length film throughout the school year that is then shown to the whole school community near the end of the year. It has become a highlight for this school and upcoming students always look forward to being in one of Jack’s films. Have a listen to learn about how he manages to create such a successful project.

In the last field report, Tina spoke with Kelly Baer about the blogging work her students had been working on. This time, Tina talks with the students themselves. In their own voices, listen to what students think about the best parts of the blog experience, whether other teachers should consider blogging activities, and the comments they’ve received on their writing.

Dan Schmit is an Apple Distinguished Educator and the producer of Kidcast, the award-winning podcast for educators interesting in exploring podcasting in their own classroom. In this episode, the GenTech boys spend some time talking with Dan about his experience working with teachers and students on podcasts. Among other things, we cover Dan’s thoughts on the components of a sustainable, successful educational podcast - from the “nuts and bolts” of district cooperation and technology infrastructure to the educational and curricular aspects.
More information about Dan’s books, as well as Dan and the Kidcast show, is available through his website.

Happy New Year and welcome back!
In this episode, the GenTech Boys regroup after a wonderful break (and some major surgery) to introduce this semester’s line-up of guests & general topics. In brief, we’re looking forward to conversations and Field Reports with some familiar voices: Ben Grey, who’s in a new position and who’s been to the Center for Digital Storytelling out in Berkeley, and Tina Coffey and Sean Sharp, ITRTs here in Virginia. We also have some new folks slated to share at the GenTech table: Dan Schmit, developer of KidCast, and and Pattie Bowen, another Virginia ITRT.
Our “Picks of the Week” are: Yugma, Chatter, and Ecto
