Podcasts

Finally finished creating an introductory Podcast and lots of, hopefully engaging supportive documentation for our staff meeting next week centred on our Learning Platform. So now it’s fingers crossed for the successful implementation and the effective development of Podcasting in our school. A bit disgruntled that I couldn’t add an engaging background to the Podcast, instead of the large white space that engulfed the screen, but when I tried to add a background the recording was lost and vice versa, regadless of which way I tried to add it; so that’s a new learning curve for me, but I need to find out if it’s possible first! Must say, was pleased with the Podcast though, really good, hope everyone else thinks so, too, but more importantly, hope that we can begin to adopt Podcasts within our classrooms.
Now to move on to planning the remaining portion of the meeting focusing on, ‘Effective Blogging in the Classroom.’ Already made great headway with this but looking to provide perhaps an engaging video or presentation. Really need to capture the essence and the purported excitement of creating Blogs within a learning structure. Need to show that they don’t necessarily need to be more time-consuming than any other teaching methodology, but rather show their desireability in producing creative and effective results with the children. So continuing with the drawing board, so to speak…Any ideas let me in on them, please.
