Podcasting
in education
In
this session Alan Carr, an ILT staff trainer at Mid-Cheshire College,
will explain what a podcast is – how they can be found – how they
can be played – how they are created. He will demystify the baffling
terminology and look at a number of examples of podcasting in education
with a particular focus on student created podcasts.
