Don't look now, mom, but your daughter is podcasting.
April Steckling, a 5th grader at Sylvan Hills Elementary School in Sherwood, put her Thanksgiving poem to video Tuesday, recorded by a classmate on an iPod.
"My mom was like, 'Really, you get to use an iPod in school?'" Steckling said. "'I wish we had that high tech stuff back when i was in school!'"
