Episode 1 provides an update for my students on their Technology and Social Studies courses. Along with the update I include resources and do a "Joke of the Week".

Communications Technology 7 

Podcast Project: This is the podcast that I set up for my classes. For students that are interested, I would like to continue with the Radio News Report from British North America (1800’s and leading up to Confederation in 1867). I know there will be questions about how we are going to do this but I have some ideas and will be discussing it with students that are interested in pursuing this project.

Canva: Canva.com is a great resource for designing all kinds of graphics including logos, posters, book covers, infographics, flyers, brochures, certificates ...  I've used it to create cover art for podcasts. It can even do animations.
