Teachers
at Georgia's LaFayette High School are enhancing math lessons with technology
and helping students take ownership of their learning by asking them to prepare
and record podcast lessons to be posted to a Web site and shared with the class.
"We used it for an entire unit review," one teacher said. "I gave them a topic
-- probability -- and they had to develop a lesson on that particular concept.
The next day, we listened to everyone's lesson and critiqued each one."
The Walker County system's other high school, Ridgeland, has received a grant that will focus on its Honors Academy. With $64,580 from the Georgia Department of Education, the school will buy 120 iPods for advanced placement classes and training for teachers to teach students how to make podcasts.
