Had lots of fun podcasting with some kids in Whakatane last week.
We used audacity (free download) to mix our sounds.
It was neat to see the kids enjoying the sound of their own voices !!!

Some ideas for using podcasts in the classroom
* another way of submitting work
* create a podcast about a school trip
* create a news report
* create a class or school radio station
* find and use podcasts as another source of research material

Hi Rocky,
Great to see you...I am investigating this media to link to our class website...anyway...POD casting is an awesome way to get children to communicate their ideas, present their work and it gives them a chance to evaluate what they actually sound like when presenting. Check out Room 4s initial casts...more to come this term....
