Why Podcast?
Podcasting is a perfect medium of expression. Its is an innovative and interactive production method for all ages. Young people are more ‘digitally active’ now than ever before – producing as well as consuming new media. Podcasting provides an opportunity to combine education and social media.
Podcasts provide a great alternative to written methods of work, ensuring that young people of all abilities can use them to enhance thier learning and demonstrate achievements.
How can Podcasting support evidence based learning?
Podcasts can be tailored to meet the criteria of any brief and can demonstrate new methods of learning. Producing podcasts encourages interaction and discussion between inidividuals, and in turn improve confidence. Encouraging teamwork as well as personal development.
Podcasts can benefit young people on the scheme by providing them with an audio portfolio of work.
How can I use podcasting in my next workshop?
Podcasts can be produced as part of your workshop scheme assesment, in which young people are interviewed and reflect on thier exeperiences throughout the course.
The format of podcasting can work across any genre. You could include accapella’s from singers and mc’s, recordings of an outing or event, or as part of a film project, enabling young people to produce a multi-platform portfolio of work.
