What is a Podcast?
A podcast is like a radio show. However, instead of being broadcast live, a podcast is recorded and then distributed over the Internet, so that you can listen to it whenever you please. There are thousands of podcasts available, ranging from general interest entertainment shows to those, which focus on specific topics (e.g. computers / music / education). 
How do children benefit from making a podcast?
•It gives them a potential audience of thousands for their work.
•It's great for developing literacy skills (writing scripts, setting up interviews), allows children to develop and practice their speaking and listening skills, and they also learn some amazing ICT skills.
•Podcasts can be interactive, and the audience can be invited to send their comments, giving valuable feedback to the children about their work.
•I've found that making a podcast is also great for developing teamwork skills. The children always work together really well, as they're always keen to make a great show.
We are very excited about using Podcasts to showcase our classroom learning engagements with you. We hope you enjoy listening and we welcome any comments and feedback.
