[NMScience] FW: NASA Education Unveils New Do-It-Yourself Podcast Activity

[Ellen Loehman]

NASA Education is excited to introduce the Do-It-Yourself Podcast
activity in the For Educators section of NASA.gov. Students can
preview and download audio and video clips of astronauts performing
work in space and on the ground. They can then use these clips to
build their own podcast or similar audio/video project.

Learning modules on the DIY Podcast page will be categorized by topic
to assist students with creating projects about a subject of interest.
Each subject module includes video and audio clips, images, helpful
information and links to related resources. A variety of audio and
video clips will be provided to enhance flexibility and creativity.
Students can create video or audio projects using free or inexpensive
software on Windows or Macintosh computers.

Educators and their students are encouraged to distribute their NASA
projects through podcasts, social networks, Web sites, CDs, DVDs or
other channels that they may choose.

The Do-It-Yourself Podcast Blog will keep users posted on the latest
updates. Tips and suggestions for incorporating the DIY Podcast into
the classroom and updates on when new topic modules are available will
be posted regularly. Use the Comments feature of the blog to share
ideas and experiences with other teachers and students.
