Podcasting

My podcast is all about professional development. I would use this idea as a teacher by asking other teachers or administration to subscribe to my episodes and give me feedback/advice on classroom management. My scenario was in my actual podcast, so I will place the script below: 

Hello my name is Alyssa. This is my first podcasting experience. I am a preservice teacher. I would love to work with kindergarten or first grade students. I want to get some practice with podcasting, so my episodes will be about Professional Development in the classroom. Par one will be a scenario about a group assignment in the classroom. I will pretend that something like this actually happened so that I can develop good classroom management. Ideally, this would be for other preservice teachers to listen to and give advice of what I can do better. Parents of my students could also listen to this to see what strategies I use and how I manage the classroom on a day-to-day basis. 

Here is a possible scenario: 

The students are working on a group assignment. I have them start out in groups of 4, thinking that they should be able to bounce a lot of ideas off of each other. I found that the students were too distracted and easily got off task. From here, I decided the next time to pari students in groups of 2. When I did this, I found that their ideas and creativity for a particular topic were limited because there were only 2 students working together. They would get done too soon also. When we had our last groups activity, I tried 3 students per group. This seemed to be the perfect number. Three people collaborated well together and bounced off different ideas. They also worked as a whole-not as individuals as the four-person group seemed to do earlier. So, at the end of the day, I found that first graders word best in groups of 3!
