Story Board Podcasting

I used a wonderful site CAST’s UDL Book Builder at http://bookbuilder.cast.org to create a podcast. I used this site along with the program Audacity to create a story book in which I did a book talk on three adolescent novels. The site was very easy to use. Once I added some graphics along with my sound, I had my very own story book. It was very fun to create. The only limitation is in the amount of audio which can be uploaded into each page. Once I created the audio for each book, I had to slice it up and move audio around in order to meet the 1 mg requirement. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable experience. I plan on using bookbuilder to create more podcasts of popular reads which can be found in my school's library. I've already forwarded the site and my podcast to other language arts teachers at my school. The response has been very positive. This new way to share information may open up more collaboration opportunities. Check out my story book at http://bookbuilder.cast.org/view.php?op=share&book=16784&page=1.
