Well campers yesterday we had a ton of fun learning and improving our interviewing skills during the introduction to podcast week.

We began by first comparing the interviewing techniques of different podcasts and traditional broadcast journalism. Many of you noticed how podcasts are more relaxed but still focus on a few salient details. By analyzing the moves podcasters make we understand their motives in shaping their stories in a particular way.

Next we posed questions to the moderators. Each breakout room then connected the ideas of each of you by focusing on relevant details that supported the salient points we wanted to make.

We had so much fun listening to the questions you asked the moderators. Then  everyone jumped in and learned how to make and edit collaborative podcasts in WeVideo. So cool watching people code shift from academic to the “inside language” of your expertise and communities.

Looking forward to today when we learn how to make intros, outros, bumpers, and cover art.

The Elm City Webmakers wanted to provide an update about our morning session at CfAL’s tech-4-teens camp.

Last week we focused on movie making and we may seem some movie premiers today!!!

We heard from many of you that campers could not put down the video editing apps. WeVideo also works on Apple and Android devices so encourage your kids to create content all summer long.

Good Trouble

We will then begin to explore podcasting. More importantly we will ask students “How do they want to change the world?”

We will then have a 30 second moment of silence in the memory of John Lewis. Next we will talk about how often good trouble is the only way to change the world and how as digital artists we can make good trouble.

John Lewis, as we all know was one, if not the greatest, American Hero, but he was also a leader in digital literacies. He published a graphic novel series called March and even went to ComicCon cosplaying (dressing in costume as a fan) as himself.

In 2016 his graphic novel series won a National Book Award. As a teacher the acceptance speech greatly moved me. Moves me every time I watch it.

We ask that you take time to watch the video with your camper as you continue to discuss the legacy of John Lewis and talk about ways we can all cause some good trouble.

As we begin our exploration of podcasting we will align to the 8th grade speaking and listening standards of the CCSS.

Specifically:

Tuesday:
Analyze the purpose of information presented in diverse media and format as we identify the common parts and text structure

Wednesday:
Pose questions that connect the ideas of several speakers as campers interview mentors for a podcast

Thursday:
Integrate multimedia and visual displays into presentations to clarify information, strengthen claims and evidence, and add interest

Good morning, campers! Today we are going to begin our week of Podcasting! Throughout the week, we are going to learn all about Podcasting, with even having some practice!

For today, this is our plan:

We are going to start the morning by sharing the videos you friends made last week! We all know how excited and focused you were on your video projects, so we want to take some time for you all to share!

We are going to start our lesson this morning with an Ice-Breaker! “How would you change the world? What good trouble will you start?”

Take some time to share your answers, whether with a written response or an image.

What’s the Shape of a Podcast

Once we have spent some time sharing our answers, we are going to listen to a few podcasts. The podcasts are not going to be long, but you are going to listen to them to be familiar with their different parts.

After a few minutes of listening to the podcasts, we are going to discuss the different parts that you hear. What is included in a podcast? What does the creator make sure to have? What do they all have in common?

Make a Podcast

You all are going to create your own podcast! Using the WeVideo website and your already made account, you are going to create your own podcast!

• Once we have discussed the different parts of a podcast, we are going to go into our Breakout Rooms!
• In our breakout rooms, you are going to take some time to plan out your podcast. In the planning process, you are going to take the idea/answer that you shared in the Google Doc and elaborate on it. Take some time to answer your question and give some reasoning.
• Your podcast can be fiction or nonfiction. It is your podcast! You can write it from any point of view.
• For example, you can write it from the point of view as a SuperHero.
• Use the time in your breakout room to bounce ideas off one another and to get some advice from your mentors.

Our Warm-Up Activity-

Today we began our exploration of video. Again at #tech4teens camp we set the first three weeks up like a buffet line. We want students to nibble on podcasting, video making, and photography before choosing a pathway they concentrate on in the final three weeks. Having them try each dish before filling up on one.

On Friday the SCSU Interns and I met to develop the curriculum. We talked about how much offline work online video making takes. We then developed a curriculum for the three days that went roughly storyboard, curate, and edit.

Day4 revolved around story boarding. Annelise facilitated the lesson. We first went over some key vocabulary and reflected on favorite YouTube and TikTok genres. Then we watched a video how to use post it notes to storyboard.

Students blew us away with their demos. Evie, a nine year old camper from California, demoed her storyboard of the dinosaur extinction in a flip board. Diallo showed off his storyboard for a music video. Demario dropped the mic on the end of the lesson with a rap about the fun of building websites.

Check out Evie’s demo

Key Vocabulary

Some of the key terms we covered. Those who care for our campers, kids learn words best through multiple exposure, multiple times. If  your teenager is like mine and two word responses are considered a success, “It’s good…”….see if the vocab can help extend the conversation.

Standards Addressed

Again folks, please don’t share with students all the wonderful academic skills we build together. We want them to keep coming to camp. Here are some of the standards we addressed today:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.3.b
Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, description, and reflection, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.3.a
Engage and orient the reader by establishing a context and point of view and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally and logically.

Now you never teach an entire standard in one day. These are end of the year expectations for 8th grade. Each standard could take dozens of lessons, many with different goals to in order to show the standard has been met.

You can see how we worked towards these standards in our activity today. The storyboard provides evidence that campers can organize events, their dialogue notes provide evidence of narrative techniques.

When you empower kids to learn through passion they will often blow by what me mean by goals being met…Nobody can stop you when you drive towards your own goals.
