Counties of Maryland

This is my podcast. My students were assigned to make a pamphlet of a county in Maryland. Each student was given a different county. The students had to make their pamphlet a three fold. They had to list when the county was founded and give specific directions of how to get to the county. The students also had to list at least one “Fun Fact” about the county. That is what my podcast is. The students presented their pamphlets and for the podcast, they read their “Fun Fact”.

I was very disappointed with the number of students who did NOT complete the assignment. They were given this assignment over Spring Break. They had a long time to do it and yet still only ½ of the class did the pamphlet. I found the voicethread rather easy to do. It was frustrating at times when my pictures would disappear. I was pleased overall with everything considering that this was my first go around with it. I think the students were excited and they all wanted to record their voices.
