Our first 'Official' network meeting took place today. I would say, it was a very worthwhile day, we have all inputed and I believe learnt a lot from collaborating and discussing our thoughts and misconceptions. I now feel confident to try podcasting in school. We shall see what happens!!
It has been a very productive meeting, network schools have learnt:
- how to use audacity to create MP3 files and that you must have downloaded a lame encoder in order to import and eaport mp3's http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (download here files needed to podcast)
- where to access free sound effects, backing tracks http://www.soundsnap.com/ and audio.lgfl.org.uk (see links)
- how to create a podcasting channel through Lgfl
- we have spent time creating our first blogs and podcasts
and much more.....
It has been a worthwhile day, with lots to take on board. Our aim is to meet again in November to see what stage we are at.
Good luck to everybody!!

We echo the comments previously made by Lucy regarding our first podcasting experience and appreciate that podcasting can / will have many uses in the primary curriculum.
We're planning the our school's strategy for the incorporation of podcasting within our teaching and learning.
We're initially planning to set-up a school audio magazine which will be posted on our school website and hosted by Year 6 children.
Watch this space (or should we say listen?!)for further details.
