Podium software is available for all Schools in Stoke on Trent

Stoke on Trent City Learning Centers are pleased to be able to bring you podium podcasting software. The podcasting software was purchased by the City Learning Centers with the express aim of redistributing to schools across the city.  Since the software was purchased Podcasting has taken off massively across the internet with sites such as the BBC and Channel4 regularly producing podcasts.

Get Started

Hold on!! I can hear you say..What on earth is podcasting anyway, and why would we want to do it in our schools?

Podcasting is doing for audio on the web what blogging has done for text – making the production and dissemination of audio available to all; putting the means of production in the hands of the many. For schools, it offers the chance to provide lessons and learning opportunities in a way more likely to engage students than more traditional methods and can help reach children outside the classroom (for whatever reason). Podcasting isn’t about to replace teachers, but it could help them out a little.

Podcasts are a great way of telling children and parents what is going on at your school, for helping children share their work and enthusiasms, of sharing lesson plans and, possibly most importantly, sharing lessons – allowing pupils outside the school walls to plug in to what goes on in the classroom.

What’s more, it gives pupils who were in the classroom the chance to listen againto what the teacher said on a topic, to recheck those notes and make sure, as well as to make it easier for non-English native speakers to re-listen to a lesson without the distractions that may make instant translation difficult the first time around.  A decent podcast can also mean that you can cover the basics without wasting classroom time. that a simple lesson can’t contain.
