Podcasting. Podcasting is a wonderful way of allowing children to share their work and experiences with a potentially huge audience over the Internet. Schools are increasingly using the internet to promote what they do, and to celebrate the achievements of their children, and podcasting is an excellent way of doing this. What is a podcast? A podcast is like a radio show. However, instead of being broadcast live, a podcast is recorded and then distributed over the internet, so that you can listen to it whenever you please. How do I listen? You can usually listen to podcasts directly on the websites of those people who make them (see below for some examples). How do children benefit from making a podcast? It gives them a potential audience of thousands for their work.

How do I make a podcast? A school podcast can range from a single recorded story which is put onto the school website, to a weekly radio show with music and interviews which visitors can subscribe to using an RSS feed.
