Healthy Tips Podcast

Students create a podcast to share healthy tips with other students.

Objectives

  • Use a K-W-L chart effectively and accurately to guide their learning
  • Compare and contrast health-related issues
  • Develop personal goals for health and fitness
  • Use Garage Band software to record information
  • Import recording into i-Tunes to create a podcast to share

Procedure

  • This is a culminating project on health, nutrition, exercise, and sleep.
  • Students will complete an ongoing K-W-L chart, using Microsoft Word, to show what they knew, wanted to know, and learned throughout the unit.
  • Also, students have completed a Venn diagram on different aspects of the unit.
  • Students will use the information to write personal goals for health and fitness.
  • This will prepare them to select one or more facts that would be important to share with peers.
  • Once the fact(s) are written, the students will report the information to the teacher to be added to a central fact electronic database.
  • Next, all of the facts are recorded by the students using Garage Band software.
  • Finally, the recordings are imported into i-Tunes as a podcast to share with children their age.
