Production techniques for podcasting - spare places on a free course

This Tuesday evening, 4-5.30pm, Tranent Primary School, I'll be giving some professional development training on what makes a good podcast, showing what teachers can work on with kids to improve their speaking skills, learn some media skills and produce something which sounds reasonably pro.

Relatively few people have signed up for it, while tonnes have gone for the more basic courses. It'll be a pretty unthreatening session, full of fun stuff really, playing the radio/TV journo and seeing how it might apply to a lesson in the near future. If you're not sure what a podcast is, or want to brush up on your recording and editing skills there's a basic session on the night before, Monday, 4-5.30pm, at Tranent Primary School.

If you're in East Lothian and want to do some CPD with a difference (or can let people in your school know about it) just give Suzanne Todd at East Lothian Council Education Department a ring (01620 827 827).

Update: I should have pointed out that the links I mention in the session and some tips will be on the eduBuzz Support Wiki. Of course, you are free to add to this with your own ideas and suggestions.

I live too far away to come in person. Are you going to podcast your hints. I would love to be able to do a podcast properly with my special education students who have difficulty communicating properly. This could be a fun way to improve their listening and speaking skills. Could you recommend another good resource that I could use? Thanks

From New Zealand it would be a bit of a stretch- but I'd love to fill out numbers! LOL
