Join me as I journey into the world of podcasting with my students at Morris Hills High School. Each episode will feature increasing levels of sophistication as we share our reading and writing on the web. I began the podcast series with my creative writing students. Recently, I've begun to add podcasts written and recorded by my AP literature students. We love the Rode Podcaster microphone!
