In this 3-day, hands-on, project-based, real-time class, students will produce their very own podcast.

Class Experience

I am an 18- time award-winning teacher. I have taught in and throughout the Chicago Public School system for the past 20 years. I am certified by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to teach 7-12 grade students.

I am also the founder and CEO of Genius Lab, Inc. where we help prepare youth for careers in IT by exposing them to business and technology. 

In this a one-week class, students will produce, record, and publish their very own podcast.

Weekly agenda:

Week 1:
- The art of...

In this program, students will learn how to use technology to create a revenue-generating business (the podcast). 
- Students will also learn how to conduct research, read charts, and interpret statistics.
- Students will practice articulation 
- Students will also learn how to advocate for themselves by connecting with topics that are important to them and sharing their views with the world.

Students will be asked to complete tasks in between classes.

Since this is a hands-on, project-based activity, students may spend as much time as they like working to complete their podcasts.

It is strongly suggested that students spend at least 45 minutes in between sessions working on various tasks.

Students will use the following (which can be ordered via Amazon if they don't already have it):
- Camera (laptop camera or mobile phone camera)
- Podcast ready microphone (no more than $65)
- Podcasting lights (no more than $40)
- Online editing equipment like Garage Band or iMovie (free)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

The final assessment is the completed podcast. Some students may complete multiple podcasts.

2 hours 45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

It is always recommended that parents support the work of their child(ren).

Students are allowed to select their own topics, so long as the topics are not inappropriate.

We will review existing podcasts to evaluate what's working and what's not with podcasting production.
