iPads and Podcasts

A podcast is a method of publishing recorded talk, music and sometimes text, images or movies via the Internet, (or school network) in a way that shares your content automatically and on a regular basis with your listeners.

Yes, that’s right. It has most of the features of the original Garageband but also has the additional bonus of “touch”!

WITH JANE - Create an audio podcast. It could be a quick report, announcement or advert for something school based. Add music (jingles, stingers) and your voice recording WITH BILL – Have a play (inquire) on the iPad. What are the differences? Can you make a song by recording your own music using one of the instruments and then put in your own backing track from the tracks provided. Give it a go!

How can we link what we’ve covered today to learning in the classroom? (i.e UOI links/Assessment etc.)
