Enjoying with the school radio!

Hello friends!

Teachppy and I were thinking about the first day at school, and how we can work in two ways; introduce ourselves and introduce the bilingual subjects. 

As you know, Teachppy is very enjoyable, and he recommended me to create an audio. Through the recording we can develop a lot of skills as digital competence, linguistic communication competence, teamwork competence, cultural and artistic compentence and the competence to learn to learn. 

I will want to tell you the steps that we follow to create a lesson plan, an audio channel, a playlist and, finally, our welcome recording. 

The firts step was to create an audio lesson plan. I created a document in Google Docs, it is one of the tools that Google Drive offers us. As I did it, you can create documents, presentations, questionnaires and spreadsheets. One of the most benefit is that you can work online and save the document in the cloud.

In the audio lesson plan I pick up the aims, learning outcomes, EU key competences, classroom managment, cross curricular link, resources and assessment. At the same time, I was making the draft about the things that I will say in my welcome recording. Moreover, I include the scaffolding to help the students to create their own draft and their own recording. 

To create the online postcasting we can advice you about SoundCloud. This website is very intuitive and easy to use thanks to the good presentation and indications that they look like. As usually, you have to sign in. You can use your personal email or social media account. 

Then, you will find a welcome message and a guide abot how to use. You have to spend only a few minutes to use it effectively. 

Using SoundCloud, the first thing that I did it was to create my own playlist. To do it, you have to look for your favorite songs. You have to select the fist one to create the new playlist. Then, with the next ones, you will find the option to add to the playlist. 

I enjoyed a lot, a lot! Creating my playlist about Bruce Springsteen. I discovered song with singers as Bon Jovi or performances and live shows that I never listen before! 

I want to share this playlist because I want that my students do their favourite music playlist after than their own recording. 

Music is very important in our lifes and our schools, so we want to promote it and stimulate our pupils. 

Finally... our welcome audio! To motivate the students, Teachppy and I imagine a local school radio. In our message we wanted to integrate the areas of Science, literacy and music. We want that the students have fun using English. We hope that they will enjoy listening the welcome audio and they will improve their self esteem speaking English, creating their own audio project.
