Podcasting the botanical gardens




A great opportunity has arisen linked to two of my present focii. We are at the present time beginning to expand the ‘Computers in Homes’ project into Year 4 at two of the project primary schools. A total of 150 families.

Year 4 in Prince Albert primary are visiting Birmingham Botanical Gardens on 7th/8th November to look at different habitats. This gives me a great opportunity of a podcast with PICTURES. We will get the children to take photographs of the plants and then record them talking about them. What a wonderful resource to share with their parents.

Podcasting photographs can use the facilities of Windows Movie Maker. Create the audio file using Audacity and then drop it into Movie Maker. The still images can then be dropped into the video section. The whole thing can then be published as a file that can be succesfully podcasted. Look out for the instructions …..and problems and evaluation.
