Recognition

My principal Dr. Daye sends out a weekly newsletter every Monday and much to my surprise this week, my name and my class was in it! We were recognized for our podcasting. Since my email to my colleagues pleading for them to comment on my students podcasts, the word has spread and we have received much recognition and words of encouragement. I am so proud of my students hardwork and am very greatful to have learned and utilized this new form of literacy with my students. Below is the section of Hairston Middle Schools weekly newsletter, "The Daily Delivery" in which my principal had great things to say about our use of technology in the classroom.

In the House – Congratulations to Ms. Tanya Rodriguez and her 8th grade students. Ms. Rodriguez has used podcasting to excite her students about writing and reading. Thanks to all faculty and staff who have had the opportunity to listen to the casts and reply to the students. I can only imagine that they feel bigger than the world. If you have not visited the site yet, see Ms. Rodriguez’s email to the family, and do so. That is precisely the type of activity that we should endeavor to engage this cyber generation; they love it, and they learn while they’re loving. What a match?
