Mrs. Friedlander"s Academy podcasts

We had 5 students record a podcast about how much they use technology at home and at Cocoa Beach Jr/Sr High School with Mrs. Friedlander. They give many examples of how they learn with hands-on experience in Word, Excel, Publisher and PowerPoint. They talk about their electronic portfolios, Facebook for school clubs and making movies. Students also use new clickers in other classes to learn and have fun at the same time.

Kennedy, this year's Academy President, talks about her interview at the Port Authority and all the forms and tests she had to complete before finally being hired. She then describes her position with the Director of Marketing and tells of all the work experience she got this summer.
