#20 Podcasts

I love using Audacity to make podcasts. Last year I captured a language specialist reading Gumbaynggirr language for our little primary school. Teachers now use the exported WAV files to support their teaching of the children’s own indigenous language, one of the few programs throughout our diocese.

Also, I worked with the upper primary students to mentor them in good questioning and editing skills to create a podcast about our school. We used free ware music for the Garaam kids podcast (garaam means net’ in Gumbaynggirr)It was quite a hit amongst other overseas schools we were communicating with in our epal program.

Giinagay everyone - hello from the Garaam kids

I really find the EdPod resources very helpful and also the Virtual Staffroom by Chris Betcher as it gives that talk back feeling - so good for long trips. Stuck in an airport for three extra hours and this was my life saver!!
