Opportunity for Students to Podcast their Reactions
to the Inauguration
Are your students
excited for Obama's inauguration? Do they want
to share their energy? Do they want to have their
voices heard? Join students from around the country
who are podcasting their inauguration thoughts
and experiences on NewsHour Extra.
Come back to this page on January 20 to listen
to the results!
Listen
to a short introduction to the project:
All you and your students need to participate is a phone!
Just ask your students to call our 1-800 GabCast number on Jan 20th and record their thoughts and reflections
in less than two minutes. GabCast is an easy system
that turns your voicemail into a podcast. We will be collecting
and publishing them all day, so do not wait to call.
We are looking for students who will be in D.C. or
students who are watching from home.
If you and your students are
interested please call Lizzy Berryman, Director of the
Teacher Center, at 703.998.2182 to get all of the details
or e-mail us at extra@newshour.org.

Worcester, Mass. A team of students are traveling to
the inauguration and documenting it online and on Extra
with GabCast!

I think we've been witnessing violence for years, whether in reality through the media or through video games, and I don't think that's a first-hand effect.
