Gcast - instant podcast from your classroom!

[Kelly Farrow]

Have your students give a daily recap of what they learned, podcast directly from a field trip, or say pretty much anything on an insta-podcast! All you need is a cell phone. Check it out at gcast.com. I plan to use this w/ my first-grade gifted and talented program; at the end of each session, one lucky kid will get to give the daily diary of what we did, plus one other shout-out they feel like doing!

Delete Comment Hmm... it does sound like a bummer that it can cost that much :( But it is cool for kids to be able to hear information about a subject from other kids as a follow up or even precursor to a field trip. The Museum of Modern Art constantly develops podcasts with kids covering different aspects of the museum and its collection. Check it out! http://www.moma.org/explore/multimedia/audios/15

Yes, I got that message, too! :( Big bummer. But at least you can record on your computer and upload--it's just more work and less immediate. I understand why they have to do this, but it really is too bad for those of us who have no intention of paying that much.

I just got notice that this phone service is no longer free. One may still upload to the website, but without a $99 fee, you may not use the phone to record and upload. (If this is a correct interpretation)
