Who - Fourth grade students lead and host the club. All students and staff will have opportunities to contribute.

What - We are a community of readers working to establish a club to entertain and inform Eagle Ridge and KISD students, families, and staff through podcasting.

Where - We will meet and record in the Eagle Ridge Library, but students will be able to participate from classrooms and home through Flipgrid posts.

When - Podcasting Club Meets on Tuesdays during student lunches. There will be occasional homework and tasks that may require students to come in on additional days for recording.

Why - The podcasting club is an opportunity for our students to use new technology resources to practice digital literacy and expressive language skills and - as always - to promote a love of reading.
