I'm a geeky, homeschooling mama of 2. I really like digital technology, so I couldn't help but to teach my kids the techie stuff! I believe in integrating technology, when possible, into school lessons and preparing our kids for a digital world. More importantly, we are a Christian family and completely believe in passing our faith in Jesus Christ. Welcome to our home school- pull up a chair, grab some coffee, & welcome to our techie, Christian home :-)
Wow…
Okay, July was lightyears away.
Here we are in November…two days away from Thanksgiving, to be exact, and I’m JUST NOW digging up these wonderful recordings that we did way back in the summer.
But no worries…no longer shall we wait to expose the fact that we began our year-round school in early July. 
While we splashed in water fountains and beaches, we had school in between. Those summer days were AWESOME.
Below are TWO recordings we did for our podcast.
- The first one is a Memorial Day recording we did. Very quick and simple cast.
- The second is a lengthier cast that showcases all that NyGirl had learned that day as a wrap-up for the entire week’s lessons.
For the second cast, she wanted to watch me piece all the bells and whistles together to form a podcast.
I showed her how I:
- grab royalty free audio clips for sound effects and jingles
- record each individual segment
- piece the audio clips and segments together in sound recording software to form one seamless sound file
At which point she thought I was done…then the uploading part came.
I can already tell I am going to have so much fun teaching her how to create and upload her own audios at some point.
Until then…enjoy these 2 audio clips!

Here’s an audio lesson I had with my daughter about communities. It was loads of fun to record this. We talked about urban areas and cities, community involvement, and leadership within communities.
