> From the Willowdale Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska these Willowcasts are online radio shows for kids by kids. Each show has its own host, theme, and unique segments which can include things like Bad Joke, Good Joke, Spotlight, Poetry Corner and much more. The thing that's striking when listening to these is the sense of audience the students have. > In Paul Bogush’s social studies class, world leaders are not just names of unknown stuffy old people in a book. Paul started a group with his students called, “Lunchtime Leaders” where students interview leaders from around the world on their opinions about what students should do to be prepared for the future. It started in the fall of 2008 where he and his students decided to interview all the candidates that were running for Mayor in their city. When they were done they decided to keep the project going and found more people to interview. They are called the Lunch Time Leaders because they actually interview all of the leaders during their lunch period which means that we have to start and finish within twenty minutes. || Photos and Podcast Script || **Demonstration of creating Podcasts using Garageband** Create a podcast- Choose one of 3 topics OR create one of your own choosing: You will find photos and the template for your script in the desktop folder on the laptop.
