Podcasting In Schools

Some Ideas on Podcasting in schools

  • Enable students to create dynamic presentations without the complexity of digital video
  • Subscribe to various podcasts in different subjects in order to provide extra curriculum resources at virtually no cost
  • Provide students with a different way of carrying out surveys in the local area
  • Create an audio blog of a school field trip
  • Create an enhanced podcast entitled "My summer holiday"
  • Subscribe or listen to different podcasts in order to help students develop their critical faculties
  • Ask students to create a podcast to meet a real need, as part of a coursework project, for example for a local business
  • Record lessons for students (and parents!) to access in their own time
  • Enable students to do a presentation about themselves rather than only sticking to PowerPoint!
  • Create a short introduction to your school, or the course you run, to let parents know what they can expect their children to be doing - get student contributions too!
  • Create a class or even a whole-school radio station
  • Enable students to submit work in the form of a podcast
  • Create audio resources for use by sight-impaired students
  • Find and use podcasts as part of project research materials
  • Use foreign language podcasts to improve linguistic skills
  • Use podcasts to get an insight into another country's culture, or another persons daily lifestyle
