Music teacher adds podcasting to curriculum - Diane Welch, UNION-TRIBUNE
Sixth-graders at Sycamore Ridge Elementary are turning ancient rhythms into high-tech broadcasts to be shared with the world. They are creating podcasts, downloadable Internet audio programs. It's part of their study of Africa. The students in Jerry Foust's music class have been exploring the ancient art of drumming in a project that is teaching them geographical and cultural aspects of the tribal and modern continent. Twenty-three students have collaborated in groups of about five. Each group is researching a different region and will present the findings in a 10-minute presentation. These sessions will be broadcast on the Internet via a podcasting site.
