Podkids Australia Episode 17 (August 2008)
The students from Year 4 / 5 were recently featured in a case study on the Apple Education website. The case study discusses how the school is using innovative strategies such as podcasting to improve student learning.
Be sure to have a look --- It is a great summary of how Orange Grove Primary is preparing your children for a 21st century future.
Two new podcast episodes were released over the July holidays. Episode 6 is a regular episode, which includes an interview with the Hon Sheila McHale MLA (Western Australian Minister for Indigenous Affairs; Tourism; Culture and the Arts). Episode 7 is a bonus episode, featuring music from our "Where in the World" assembly.
You can check them both out at www.podkids.com.au.
The Year 4 / 5 class has made a video in which the students discuss the impact that podcasting has had on their learning. This has now been shown to over 1,000 teachers around the country as part of Apple Australia's "Podcasting in Education" seminars.
The video has created a huge amount of interest in the Podkids Australia podcast. We are currently the nation's 5th most popular podcast (in the education category). This is an enormous achievement, as most of our competitors are language podcasts made by adults.
If you haven't listened already, be sure to visit www.podkids.com.au. A new episode (Episode 6) will be available before the end of term.
Episode 5 of the podcast is available now! Now that we are all experts on Japan, we have included some awesome reports on Japanese food, culture, homes, transport and language.
The show also contains a great report on meerkats, some cool jokes, a special segment for our mothers and an interview with Roger Hayden from the Fremantle Dockers football team.
Be sure to visit www.podkids.com.au or you can borrow an iPod. Parents should just write a short note in their child’s diary confirming that they are happy for their child to take the iPod home.
The Year 4 / 5 class have released the first episode of their Internet radio show, called 'Podkids Australia'. We are the first school in Western Australia to use this exciting new technology called 'podcasting'.
You can listen to the show by visiting our podcast website at www.podkids.com.au, or you can borrow a CD from Mr Fuller to listen to. In coming weeks, we will even have iPods for you to borrow, so that you can listen to the podcast when you want and where you want.
We hope that you enjoy the show!!
We are busily preparing the first episode of our podcast. We have now recorded several segments, and hope to have the episode available for you to listen to by Monday 27 February. Please see Mr Fuller if you have any ideas how we should celebrate this special event!!
