#20 Podcasts

I found the articles and links useful. I have used Podcasts and made a couple (using Audacity) for school but would like to expand on my knowledge and skills and the information for the course was helpful.
I have used podcasts from a variety of sources of book reviews to enthuse students to read. I have also encouraged them to find one if they are looking for more information on their book. Often too, there are podcats of interviews with authors etc.
The ABC ones are particularly useful for senior school students as they can often find ones on current topics and get ideas/opinions etc to work with.
As students often prefer 'active learning' the podcasts can assist with this.
So, now off to get more podcasts into units of work and also checking out some for the types of topics I know will be sought for soon!
