Below are products of our middle school activities groups.
Podcasts
Spring term we piloted a podcasting activity with the goal of starting an full-blown internet radio station next year. It was a chance to figure out how to guide students through learning the technology and the interviewing skills neccessary. Here are our students interviews with some RDS staff regarding their views on global warming. Each Interview is about 3 minutes long.
