Hi Nik and Ray - and Happy New Year!=0A=0AI was totally in the dark regardi=
ng podcasting until I accompanied a class to South Manchester City Learning=
Centre and spent the afternoon watching children create their own podcasts=
very easily!=0A=0AThe teacher in charge of the class at SMCLC, Phia Le Rou=
x, then wrote an article for Sharing Success that talked through what a pod=
cast is and how to set one up:=0A=0Ahttp://www.naace.co.uk/457=0A=0APhia al=
so discussed with me how she had toyed with the idea of using PCs (as the F=
rench student did) - before opting for using Macs (as the CLC already had a=
suite of them) and how straight forward using GarageBand was.=0A=0AThe ver=
y first awakening for me was the definition and where the term podcast come=
s from and - although very logical - had never realised 'podcast' is the co=
mbination of the words ipod and broadcast! It reminded me very much at that=
time of how the definition of the term 'web 2.0' technologies came about!=
=0A=0AMy second discovery was how easy it is to create a podcast which in e=
ffect can be very simple ie. one and/or more of a combination of text, spok=
en words, pictures, video, music - posted onto a web-site for others to sha=
re.=0A=0AIt really does go back to what Nik was saying though - because it =
does depend on what purpose the podcast is to serve. Youngsters and adult a=
like delight in being able to post their video clips onto YouTube etc - whi=
ch are made very accessible by the introduction of the ipod, iphone etc.=0A=
=0AThe class I was working with wanted 'somewhere' to post their finished '=
podcasts' to share. At that time, coincidentally, I was leading an Oracle p=
roject, using www.thinkquest.com where the children were creating their own=
interactive web-pages and were able to upload their work onto their web-pa=
ges, along with other multi-media and interactive material. So although the=
re was a clear purpose to the project - podcasts were a really brilliant fu=
n way to produce a range of materials share their work.=0A=0AAlthough grea=
t fun - much depended on children having access to several and/or a suite f=
ull of Macs that had GarageBand.=0A=0AThe way some schools are using their =
VLEs also lend themselves very well to setting up 'safe and restricted' are=
as specifically for posting a range of podcasts and other multi-media mater=
ial. My understanding is that as long as the VLE has the facility to upload=
video etc - PCs can be used without the need for GarageBand.=0A=0ASome gre=
at examples can be seen at schools (using the Frog VLE) where the staff at =
Halifax High School used technical to support to help set up an area called=
'OurTube' where staff oversaw students who were responsible for posting a =
range of material from school performances to dance, drama, news and interv=
iews. At Crossley Heath Language College the D&T teacher used the idea of c=
reating podcasts he created himself (and then videoed students as he though=
t they were better and sometimes more listenable than him!) which were vide=
o tutorial instructions as to how to create models for their D&T coursework=
. Students would either watch the videos at home and/or download them onto =
their MP3 players to listen and re-listen to as they were working on their =
'models'. =0A=0ARegards,=0A=0A=0APaul=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A______________=
