The app provides multiple suggestions for questions, depending on who you are interviewing (you can also add your own). It’s a perfect tool for having students interview their parents, grandparents or other older family members (which also makes it easy to ensure students have parental consent — by the way, their policy states users must be over 13). It’s super-simple to use. Of course, classmates could also interview others, as long as teachers had parental permission.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
- Using Garage Band to record is fun, versatile, and makes the teacher and students feel like recording studio producers.
- For world language teachers, Garage Band is a great tool for recording auditory information, aural quizzes, tests and even aural exams.
- For world language teachers, Garage Band is a great tool for recording oral samples from students. They can be stored on a computer or burned on a CD for future review or grading.
- Students engage in a media familiar to them, and it allows for creativity and self expression.
- Students are writing, reading, revising, and speaking to an audience.
- Re-listening to lectures helps students boost academic achievement.
- A great way to stay in touch with family and friends. A wonderful way to communicate with pen pals.
- Content friendly - can be integrated in any curriculum areas.
- Students can work collaboratively throughout the entire process.
- Students are able to be crative and have fun while they are learning.
- Preparing for a Podcast enables students to organize their thoughts succinctly and provides them with an opportunity to practice their Public Speaking skills.
Weaknesses:
- Just like anything else, in order to become accustomed to Garage Band, one has to practice it/use it often, especially when adding music.
- Garage Band requires editing often in order to have a good volume/balance between voice and music. NOTE: Audacity is a free, easy alternative to GarageBand for recording Podcasts.
- Once again when trying to view some of the ones for examples they would not work. Time is required to add "bells and whistles".
- Garage Band is a bit tricky to learn...like anything else it takes practice.
Opportunities:
- When using Garage Band outside of the classroom setting, you can save voice and music samples on the computer or burn on a CD and share with friends and family.
- For world language teachers, If a student has to make-up an aural assignment, you can make an alternate, make-up assignment using Garage Band.
- Don't have enough ancillary materials to accompany your text? Use Garage Band and make your own audio files.
- Young children can record podcasts for their grandparents and traveling parents can check in from their cell phones.
- Seems like an ideal way for students to develop and practice their communication skills in another language.
- Great way to communicate to parents.
- Students can make a podcast of a "Readers Theater" play and share it with others. Students can even use it as a way to recite poetry or make recordings of notes that they might need to study.
- If there is a particular podcast that you enjoy watching you can subscribe to it. When there is a new podcast created it will be downloaded automatically to your computer.
Threats:
- Legal boundaries for copying materials
- Internet safety.
IDEAS FOR THE CLASSROOM
- Virtual field trips or recorded actual field trips
- Interviews
- "Where in the World"
- Study guides can be created and listened to the night before an exam
- Instead of the traditional speech unit, students can podcast with music and art, and still talk about the process
- Create your own "Book Talk Radio Show" using podcasts; weekly reviews on books and authors.
- Lesson summaries can be helpful for absent students.
- Use a digital recording on field trips or vacations, add it as narration to photos using Windows Photo Story, and burn it into a DVD.
- Language teachers can record vocabulary to aid in pronunciation and for test preparation.
- Using one of the on-going Everyday Math projects, third grade students could produce a weather report of temperatures and/or sunrise and sunset times of those cities being monitored. prestiti personali
