Podcast: Podomatic

This is a website through which you can record, edit and upload our podcasts. Here we could listen music from different cities around the world and we saw how we can record our voice to do different activities. 

This is a tool used not only used for teachers or students, DJ´s and artists from all over the world have their own PodOmatic account.

This way, the students can do a reading aloud activity and record themselves and later listen for it to see if they pronounce well or not, for example.

MY PODCAST: Podomatic Pirate's Treasure

Here is my podcast. It's a podcast of a story calles "Pirate's treasure", a short but nice story for children. This is the written story:

PIRATE´S TREASURE

Written by Carol Moore

Illustrated by Aura Moser

"Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "Oh, there be treasure there! Ha ha ha."

So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.

He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.

He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something...

...but it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought "That pirate lied to me!"

But when Jimmy's mother saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."

Children love stories, that's why I decided to record it. We could listen to it in class at school, and then, after listen to it some times, children could write what have they understand about the story (a little summary), or answer some questions, as:

- What's the name of the pirate?

- What's the name of Jimmy's dog?

- What is Jimmy looking for? Why?

- Does he find it?

- How much money does his mother give him? Why?
