Course project for graduate work at UNI.

1. An Inquiry Study
By Cathy Olson

2.  Use podcasts to allow students to
provide summative information on the
completion of their novel
 Used as a summative evaluation of their
independent reading requirement
 Give students a real audience for their
podcast by posting them on our class
wiki

3.  Supplement the work done on the
Independent Reading Wiki

5. 1. Is creating a podcast a valuable way to share one’s
thoughts on his/her reading?
2. Could a podcast serve as an evaluative tool in an
independent reading unit?
3. Could we work with our school media specialist and
have podcasts put on our library website?

14.  Examining the TPACK
value of the project
 Podcasting is a
“universal” tool, not
a content-specific
tool
 Did it enrich student
learning?
 Student: “I think this
was a really good
idea.”
