GarageBand and Podcasting Resources
Garage Band is a Mac application tool that is known for its use in composing music, but it can also be used to record sound, and add still pictures and movies to Podcasts. Using Garage Band students are able to create newsletters, share their creative writing, put together a book promotion, produce oral reports or replay the events of a fieldtrip. This is a great way for auditory learners to share their knowledge to the world.
Listed are a few easy to follow tutorials and resources to assist in creating classroom Podcasts.
1. Eva La Mar presented at the 2008 NCCE conference in February. Her website has information on how to use Garage Band. Included are some forms to help with planning and organizing: Planning, Process Planning Guide, Storyboard Form, Status of the Class
2. Priscilla Lewis from Shoreline School District has a tutorial.

I have taught Garageband before, but never used it for that purpose. I look forward to giving this a try at school and with my students.

what a great idea, I’m an avid mac user and never thought about using garage band before – this is a must.
