We decided to try out your idea. If you would like to see how it turns out check out the link below 9:00 to 10:00 EST on Tuesday. http://collaborationnation.wikispaces.com/Steaming+Video+of+Todays+Class Hi this is Marissa from Mr. Bogush’s social studies.

I think there's a lot to be said for science coursework that "announces" science stuff in a way that teaches listeners. God knows I could benefit by listening to explanations of all the science I never really learned in high school. :) Ben, be sure you drop a comment with links if anything comes of that.

Again, what I'm learning in radio production is that even "feature" shows are often not ad lib, but scripted. So the "book report" idea may <em>change</em> the writing for students in positive ways, since it will have to sound good and clear - and engaging - when <em>read</em>. If you do find yourself playing with this approach in your classes, drop us a line and let us know. Claire, that’s interesting.

Students could do a radio version of a 'book report', doesn't sound as risky or creative but it would be better than just another piece of writing. S&E stands for Society and the Environment, similar to Geography and History all mashed up together with a bunch of Social Studies thrown in for good measure. My first topic for year 10 S&E next year is WWII so some radio broadcasts may well be useful assessment pieces. <abbr><em>Claire Adamss last blog post..<a href="http://ceadams.edublogs.org/2008/12/02/start-with-the-idea-and-apply-the-tool/" rel="nofollow">Start with the idea and apply the tool</a></abbr></em> Clay, you may have hit on something there.

I've been brainstorming ideas for non-traditional assessments of science content and this idea seems like it'll work quite well with the next content area we're covering in class. It's quick, authentic, and engaging. I'll have to sit down to flesh out details, but thanks for sending me down this road. <abbr><em>Bens last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SustainablyDigital/~3/476256329/" rel="nofollow">Artifacts #2- Chemical reaction primer</a></abbr></em> I like it!
