PLUS for Podcasting - it is another interesting ICT Tool to use to maintain interest for children in learning. Children could work in groups and record their ideas for a lesson which can be shared with everyone. They love to hear their own voices - record a story with everyone reading their part. Younger children can be recorded reading at beginning of term and re-recorded at end of term to gauge their level achieved.
Minus- Podcasting by itself would limit the type of learners it would appeal to, so video or photos added would engage a variety of learning styles. If downloading Podcasts from the internet it is important to thoroughly check content.
Interesting - There are a lot of podcasts by experts out their, so this tool can be of great support to a teacher who is time limited - download to an IPOD and listen to them to get the creative ideas flowing. It would also be an excellent tool to use for students to use to explain assignments as they are viewing it online or explain an outline sheet for an assignment.
