Creating a Class Biopoem Podcast with Myna
The other day, as my students were finishing up a Biopoem writing project, we worked together to pull pieces from their work and create a collective Biopoem Podcast that would represent everyone in the class.

Get Up — video
I used my loop remix of my song, Get Up, with some pics from a Creative Commons search engine (plus PhotoStory as an editing tool) and put together this music video: [kml_flashembed movie=”http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-4430625363031699385″ width=”400″ height=”326″ wmode=”transparent” /] Peace (with truth), Kevin
