After listening to, and discussing the various elements of podcasts, students will have the opportunity to employ what they've learned by planning, developing, and producing their own podcasts. This is a culminating project that will happen at the end of the PODCAST Unit. This will take up classes 5 through 10 in a 10 class unit and will take approximately 7 hours of work time to complete. While this lesson could be asynchronous or synchronous, the greatest successes would take place in the classroom with face to face instruction and the provided materials for production.  Photo by Harry Cunningham @harry.digital from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-shot-of-a-podcasting-gadgets-7383471/

This Graphic Design 1 curriculum is a comprehensive semester long course in digital media that uses Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I started updating this curriculum in the Spring of 2018 and so, if you access the UPDATED GD 1 Curriculum, you will see the most recent additions to my course and have access to all my teaching materials including presentations, lesson plans, video tutorials, student examples, self evaluations and rubrics. Anything highlighted in yellow is in development. Check back often for updates and don't hesitate to message me if you are looking for something specific. Thanks for checking this out!

This website has thousands of free mathematics enrichment materials for teachers and learners from ages 5 to 19 years. All the resources are designed to develop subject knowledge, problem-solving, and mathematical thinking skills. The website is updated with new material on the first day of every month with fifteen problems and a number of games, articles and other resources. All are tagged with curriculum content links and challenge levels. Past issues, as far back as November 1999, can be accessed by a link on the home page.
