Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

This summer I have the opportunity to do research at St. Peters College as a PARSE Institute fellow. I am part of a special team that is working on experiments that will be carried out in the Vomit Comet at the NASA Space Station in Texas. I am very excited about this exciting experience because I, with the rest of the team, will be doing experiments at zero gravity (microgravity). Yes, it's a once in a lifetime deal. I'm definitely up for it!!!

Podcasts

What I Know!

A podcast is a way of sharing knowledge about a specific subject by reporting about the subject while playing images that represent or relate to the information being shared. GarageBand is a great program to use to create podcasts. A script is written with all of the information that will be read. The images are saved and inserted at specific time intervals. Publishing the podcast is possible by using iTunes. Podcasting is a great means for students to practice writing, communicating and using technology in the classroom.
