Podcasts

Today we have added a new feature to our blog. On the right hand side you will see a "podomatic" podcast player. This lists our podcasts (or audio files) that we have created.

At present there are three podcasts listed; two book reviews and a weekend sports review. They took a bit of time but we really enjoyed making them. We used "Garageband" (a "mac" application) to record and edit them. Then we posted them to "Podomatic" an online podcasting host.

We have learnt so far that the class needs to be very quiet, because the microphone picks up everything (even doors shutting!). We need to practice a few times before hand, try not to say "um", and above all we need to speak clearly and not mumble! This is great for our oral language and we are looking forward to see our progress over the year.
