Podcasts for learning
Hagley College English teacher Rebecca is using soundtrap.com for students in her Year 10 English class to create podcasts. A podcast is a digital audio file where people generally record their their voice. By using soundtrap.com, students can create podcasts and also add special effects too. Rebecca uses podcasts as part of her Year 10 Film studies unit on Edward Scissorhands. "Students have been able to express their thoughts via podcast in order to reflect on the main characters in the movie. Many students have liked this way to explain their perspectives on the main characters. It is a good opportunity for students to learn in a different way, rather than just typing or writing." Once completed, students will upload their podcasts to the class Team for all class members to listen to. If you would like to know more about using soundtrap.com or creating podcasts in general please see Nathan the eLearning Leader.
