=50 Classroom Uses and Tips for Garageband and Podcasting= You can include ways to use podcasts created by others, podcasts created by the teacher, or student-created podcasts.

1. (All) Instead of spending 30 minutes teaching students how to use Garageband, send them to the [|Apple Garageband Tutorial movie]. 2. (All) If you need to have students cite pictures as part of their podcasts, have them create the citation in PowerPoint and then save the slide as a picture. This is the best way to include text in a podcast without distortion. 3. (All) Look for editable clips in unitedstreaming. When you place the clip in the video track, it will separate the video from the audio. You can then delete the audio and have students put in their own to go along with the already-created video. 4. (All) Each week have a different student summarize the past week's learning. They can create a one-minute audio clip, which you can upload to your teacher website. 5. (Language Arts) Find audio clips and images that suggest various moods. Have students match them and explain their choices. 6. (Language Arts) Have students create podcasts in Garageband about their beliefs. This is modeled after NPR's //This I Believe.// Post to a forum (as in Moodle) for classmates to hear and reply to.
