The following are podcasting projects completed by Woodward Academy 8th Graders:

=World War I= Students were placed in groups and asked to select a WWI topic and create a podcast, using iMovie or Movie Maker, that describes and illustrates the subject topic during WWI. Detailed instructions for this iMovie Podcasting Project:

=Stock Market= After students participated in a lengthy stock market simulation, they were asked to pick a company that was traded on the stock exchange (the DOW or the NYSE). Student's researched detailed information on that company such as stock price trends, recent financial news, and company leadership and products. Then students created a brief commercial of the company and embedded that iMovie/Movie Maker creation into the wiki post via YouTube. Students gathered pictures, video clips, and other resources to create this commercial.
