I know many of you have been wondering what has happened to the Chatham Middle School News Podcasts this year. A number of techical issues has prevented me from posting new podcasts. However, now that our new CMS computer lab is up and running, our website has been moved successfully, and our teachers and students have settled in for the new year, I am able to start producing podcasts. Look for show 36 in the next week! (or two)

Show # 35

2007-06-18T13:47:00.000-04:00

This is the LAST CMS News Podcast for this school year!

In our last podcast, Trish and Amanda share their 8th grade graduation speeches. They are wonderful!

Just a few announcements and then the podcast team of Theresa, Kyle, Satarra, and Tommy will entertain you with their “Sports Podcast.” These students designed, recorded, edited, and produced this segment entirely themselves.

This show is about 25 mins. So, pump up the volume, sit back and enjoy show # 35!

Here’s the link where you can “stream” the broadcast from the Chatham Middle School Website.
You can also subscribe to our podcast through the i-Tunes Music store.

Show # 33 Young Podcasters!

2007-06-03T20:01:00.000-04:00

My 8th graders have been assigned to create and produce their own original podcasts. Students worked as teams and made all the decisions, recorded and did their own editing as well as converting to the correct format. This podcast contains the first group's efforts.

Please take a moment and listen to the podcast produced by Colin, Julius, Kippi and Miles. Julius did a segment on transitioning to the high school. He interviewed Mrs. Mckay and Mrs. Jones as well as a few students. You’ll hear some jokes that Miles put together, as well as a segment on the progress of Project Citizen eighth graders. These students even created their own mix of royalty free music for their intro and conclusion.

Enjoy!

Please let Colin, Julius, Mile, and Kippi know that you listened by e-mail or leave a comment on our Blog.

Show #30

2007-05-02T14:19:00.000-04:00

This may be my favorite podcast! Listen to a student interview Mrs. McPherson about the annual CMS Reading Challenge. On the spur-of-the-moment I handed Katie a recorder and she conducted a great interview! Jenny, Susan, and Max, from Mrs. Kloumann's fifth grade, share some original poetry. The poems are in honor of Poetry Month. I especially love the message of the first poem.

Put on your dancing shoes! Mrs. Travis shares a Flamingo Dance Workshop experience that her students have been participating in all week. Many of the staff know of this annual event, but never knew what it was because of schedules. No wonder the students love it!

Forget the long bus ride to Sturbridge, MA. Mrs. Silvester took all the voice recorders and put her students to work while on a field trip to Sturbridge Village. She then crafted her own podcast. It's very impressive and it's here, in part, for you to enjoy. Look for more podcasts from this very talented class. Her class website is www.chatham.k12.ma.us/cms/Tcms/silvester/

I'll also share, as promised in show #29, part of a school committee presentation that Mrs. Macomber's students gave regarding music education at CMS. This Project Citizen assignment has become very important to these young people. Please listen and give them some feedback.
