Podium launch event, May 16th 2007, Stirling

James Watson of Softease reports:

'Well, it has now been just over two months since Podium’s release. During that time we have seen a huge amount of interest in understanding more about the educational benefits of podcasting.

The majority of teachers and advsors I speak to have heard of the word ‘podcast’ (well, it was word of the year way back even in 2005), but most are still uncertain when asked for a precise definition, how to create or listen to podcasts, or even why podcasting and other social software is so important in aiding children’s learning today.

To help raise further awareness of these issues, therefore, we are delighted to announce our official Podium podcasting launch event for Scottish Council Education Advisors at the Stirling Management Centre on May 16th 2007. We’re delighted to have Ewan McIntosh as a guest speaker to talk about podcasting and the broader themes of ‘Communication and Creativity in the Classroom’.'
