Springfield Vocabulary

I loved the idea of using vocabulary in skits, which have been recorded on a podcast and posted to their class blog. It provides students with tutorials for words for when they are at home or are doing homework in the library. I would love to do something like this with Spanish. Maybe, have our vocabulary list on there and then have the kids make scripts using an assigned word. Instead of giving them the definitions I could have them go to the blog and listen to the different sentences by each group and have them come up with the definition by themselves.

One problem I see with this is access to a computer at home. We could do the recordings in class but having the students go back and listen to them in class would take too much time, seeing that we would have to go one by one.

Through all of the content we have learned in our 2nd year alt. cert program I am still seeing one underlying problem, access. I see me using a lot of these ideas and technology applications but I do not see me being able to allow the students to use these applications, which is sad. Anyway, that was a tangent, but I love the idea and hope to use it in class.
