Podcasting: Linking Kenderton School together with technology

As you can see from the photos we've posted, we've been working in the recording studio here at Kenderton School this week. Our focus has been podcasting. Each middle school class (grades 6-8) will produce their own 3-5 minute podcast. This audio podcast is structured like a radio show and is called the Radio Kenderton Podcast.

Most students are eager to participate in the recording process in the classroom. They are so surprised when they hear their own voices played back for the first time. I guess we all tend to think our voices sound strange when we hear a recording of ourselves played back for the first time.

The exciting thing is that there are many audio production techniques that make the recording experience more exciting for our students. During the recording of the podcast we often create original raps and use pitch correction software (similar to Autotune). The students love hearing how the pitch correction software changes the sound of the voice.
