Our first podcast is finished and many more will be on the way when we return from break. Each student in my 8th grade Digital and Video arts classes have selected an art related segment topic to research, write, record and edit. We are off to winter vacation with a few great segments completed. When we return we will be finishing up many more exciting segments for complete podcasts. So check back in January for more art fun!
