Garageband: Planet Podcast
In this project, children will write and produce a podcast with the theme, Reconnecting To Our Natural Environment’. Their challenge will be to inspire others to connect with nature and live more sustainably. Children will learn how our community can work together to make a difference and they will construct a podcast sharing their newfound knowledge. Podcast recordings will be emailed to families. We also encourage students to share their productions with their family and school community.
