In Eastern Hills Middle School there are many programs teachers are using to educate their students. 3 common types of programs used in E.H.M.S are Garageband, Wikispaces and podcasts. Mrs.Burden and Mr.McDaniels are teachers known in the 8th grade hallway for using these programs. Mr.McDaniels uses podcasts for lectures, and giving students the ability to record and listen to historic events from a program called garageband. garageband is a program that enables students to record audio. After that is finished you can then transfer them to itunes and listen to it from there. Garageband is usually on the Imac for free, but you can installit on any computer for a fee on apple.com. Another teacher that uses these programs is Mrs.Burden. Mrs.Burden does similar to what Mr.McDaniels does, but instead of just recording, she tells students to post their recorded audio on a website called wikispaces. Wikispaces is a website that is similar to a myspace but you can put special protection settings so a certain group of people can look at it. These programs help students alot they record their assignments to where students can listen and enjoy it. These 3 programs have developed a fun enviroment for students.
