The fist podcast that I listened to was called “A picture is worth a 1000 words” it was from “KidCast: Learning and Teaching with Podcasting” and it was by Dan Schmit.  The description on itunes of the one that I listened to was, A picture is worth a thousand words… let’s prove it!  Learning to describe what we observe in depth is a valuable skill that is connected to seeing and thinking more deeply.  This episode will provide you with another great podcasting activity that will develop descriptive observation in your students.  We’ll use photographs to create a guided visual tour in GarageBand.

I found this podcast very interesting and think that he had a great idea for how to help students develop the ability to develop better analysis skills and be able to build more descriptive narratives. His idea was to use pictures and come up with 20 questions about the picture. These questions would then turn into a dialogue of question and answer which could then become an interesting narrative about the picture. He then told how you can turn that into a podcast with pictures that would help the audience visualize specific things you are talking about. I think that this is a great activity for students to try.
