They have done a great job looking back over three years in middle school. I was amazed that Ashley was inspired by organizing her Skype call to my class late last year.

What I get out of it might not be what someone else might. The quality comes from a great mic. I placed two mics on a table, connected to a mixer, connected to my laptop and used Audacity to record. Each kid was at least 3-5 feet from the mics, and some were on the sides of the mics(they are not omnidirectional). It would actually be even clearer but I have the end of the ventilation system in my room which creates a fuzzy sound on our recordings. Maybe some wonderful reader will summarize ;)

It is so thought provoking but inspiring . As teachers we should listen to our students far more and I was intrigued by your student reflections. I wish I had time to summarize the keypoints or have you done that somewhere. On a practical note, how did you get the broadcast so clear. We use a cheap desktop microphone but it really only works with a single user and not in a group situation such as yours. What a remarkable podcast! It is so thought provoking but inspiring .
