Lost in Thought

Earlier this week we had a tutorial on podcasting and the use of the software package “Garage Band”. I have had a Mac for a couple of years but never felt the need to even look at what that particular package was!

I had had some fun with it so I went home and gave my son a 5 minute introduction to “Garage Band” and then headed into the study to complete yet another assignment.

My son had been asked to do an assignment at school that day on the questions they would ask an athlete if they were at the Olympic Games, so he went about researching the athlete, writing a script, recording both voices and saving it on a flash drive to play at school the next day

As Harel puts it “We know that when our kids make something of their own that can be shared with others online (and offline), they feel so good about themselves that they want to go further and do more.”
