Thing 21

This was super easy and lots of fun. Students will have a blast using Animoto to create their videos. I think the remix is more fun than creating the original. Animoto could be used as a class project with each student adding his/her favorite picutes, as a class research project with each student finding specific historical images and learning how to create credits at the end to avoid copyright infringement or as individual projects following the same format. I think the class project would be interesting and the students would also learn to collaborate with each other.

Thing 22

I think podcasting is great if you know how to do it. For some reason I just can't get mine to upload to LiveText intact. I listened to several podcasts on, you guessed it, history. I subscribed to the Voices on Antisemitism podcast from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Every other week they send a new podcast about the experiences of people who lived through that terrible time in world history. Justice Ginsburg was interviewed for this series and she reflects on her great good fortune to have been born in the United States. I will make a point of listening to this subscription because what the horror and terror that was visited on the people of the Holocaust must never happen again. So we must not allow our children to forget. If this topic interests you the link to the museum's site is http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/antisemitism/voices/transcript/index.php?content=20061109
