Podcasting 101

Tom Walton
14.45—15.45, Room C

Audio presentation

Although you can subscribe to and download the audio (and video) files commonly known as podcasts, as well as create your own, one of the most interesting ways they can be used in a language classroom is for the learners themselves to do the actual recording.

If you've never tried podcasting before, this introductory session will show you some of the very simple tools that your learners can use (SoundCloud and Vocaroo, Blogger and Edmodo etc), as well as looking at easy tasks to get you started and your learners both excited and learning...

Suitable for just about all ages of learners and intended for teachers unfamiliar with podcasting... no matter how technologically-challenged!

Biodata • Tom has been an English teacher for over 30 years but in the last 15 years or so has probably taught more technology to teachers than he has English to learners. His #1 tip for successful use of classroom technology: as the teacher, never ever touch the technology yourself; and #2, never do anything complicated with technology!
