I created the Biome Lady’s Podcast mainly to give 5th graders an alternative to learning about biomes. Currently their main source of information is their textbook and thousands of Internet sites; I can only image how bored 21st Century children are with those learning materials. My first episode is an introduction to biomes and I hope I made it fun for anybody wishing to learn about biomes. In the introduction I outlined what the series will include, how scientists study Earth, and why it is important to learn about biomes. In future episodes I hope to invite a biome expert as a guest speaker.
This project gave me the opportunity to really explore Audacity and as a free download what a powerful tool. I found using the software easy but learning my new hardware a little more challenging. My old computer had major hardware failure so I needed to purchase a one. It was tricky learning how to disable the internal microphone so I can use my external microphone/headset to record. I did and I think my podcast turned out great. Finally, over the summer I plan to complete my podcast series and publish it for use with 5th grade.
(Below is the General Description of the podcast series. This is what people will see in a podcast download center. I also included the artwork I created for the series.)
The Biome Lady’s Podcast introduces people to the six major biomes found on Earth. The podcast has eight episodes and they are, the introduction to biomes, freshwater biomes, marine biomes, desert biomes, forest biomes, grassland biomes, tundra biomes, and biomes a conclusion. This podcast is designed to help people, aged 10 and up, learn about the Earth’s biomes.
