Podium Podcasting in Newham
A totally awesome day with about 40 or so ICT co-ordinators in Newham at the ITASS powerhouse - the Credon Centre - who arrived to experiment with the curriculum implications behind podcasting. They were very receptive to the ideas that underpinned the ICT and could focus on the classroom contexts while still maintaining a personal, watching brief on the kit they needed to get it all sort out.
I was first up and began with the Ninja Podcasting video followed by the wonderful Common Craft explanation of podcasting:
Then I did my bit with Podium ending up with the participation slot for the witches from Macbeth!!
I was followed by an extremely well planned an executed session by Ken Maslin of ITASS and Emma Parker, Primary Strategy Literacy Consultant who explained case study projects that they had been involved in using podcasting. They introduced us to various versions of 'The Nig Nang Nong' and how explained how motivating the whole thing about recording was for the children.
These were my favourites:
After a superb lunch Pippa Dorma, LGfl Consultant, explained the LGfL approach to podcasting and got the assembled mob to do clever things with Audacity.
A brilliant day with enthusiastic teachers ... lucky children !!

Thanks for the positive review of our humble introduction to Podcasting. It was great to have so many different speakers offering a slightly different perspective on this exciting technology. Over the next few weeks, we'll put all the material from the day on our website. This will include the case studies from the Year 3 classes, links and help guides from Pippa's LGFL session and anything else we can think of that might be useful. I will post here when it all goes live.
