California 2.0 Curriculum Connections
- podcasts, video, and downloadable audio
Idea #1: Interview candidates for local office, or town officials about top issues in your community.
Idea #2: Create a daily school news podcast, including an issue of the day such as copyright/music downloading/file sharing, Internet safety tips, or newest web 2.0 applications.

Idea #3: Livingston High School's Reading Blog is a forum for students and staff to share their literary experiences and original work. In 2007, the blog offers podcasts and a book review contest. See or Tony Doyle, LMT at
http://lhsblog.edublogs.orgtdoyle@MUSDD.K12.ca.us.
Idea #4: Invite parents of young children to read (and record) 2-3 books to their child. Have them include parent-child comments and discussion. Create podcast collection of parent-read stories and post to the classroom or library website. Why have a celebrity reader for young children, when parents/grandparents/older siblings are young peoples' celebrities. [For older students, have students each read/record a story. Consider having each student buddy-up with a "page-turner" helper.]
Idea #5: Create a podcast tour of the library for the 9th grade library orientation. I hope to make this a part of the orientation that students could actually download to their MP3 players and walk around the library. I want to include it as part of an online library orientation package, maybe posted in a wiki. This could take the form of an audio podcast or have video or screenshots on the computer version.
Idea #6 Use DailyLit to sends a chapter a day of selected classics to reluctant readers, or those students that request it.
Idea #7. Instruct students to find a youtube video they find interesting on an aspect of Physics ( or whatever subject). Then assign them the task of verifying the accuracy of the video.
