Session Description
What are we doing today?
Podcasts have become increasing popular with students as well as other audio narratives. They are a great way to engage students in the classroom and teach them about the work that goes into content creation.
Podcasts are a great way to merge project based learning with storytelling and production skills.
This workshop is for all learners, but will focus specifically on how to teach students to use the technology they have to create a podcast.
