Multimedia & Podcasting - Staff Presentation

ICT Showcase & Share, October 24th 2006

Multimedia & Podcasting Presenter: Allyson Ferguson
















Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, for listening on mobile devices and personal computers. Podcasting's essence is about creating content (audio or video) for an audience that wants to listen when they want, where they want, and how they want. To get a full appreciation and understanding of the possibilities of podcasting, it is worth taking the opportunity to subscribe and listen to a range of them. You may find that you are able to discover some podcasts that will serve some value in your classrooms.

Allyson introduced this exciting technology to her students in Term 4 adding a very innovative approach to the delivery of classroom content. Students were exposed to a range of different ICT skills and were given the opportunity develop these skills throughout the set task.
