| Abstract |
Staff at Weston Point Community Primary School, in Cheshire, show how podcasting has been introduced into classroom practice across several subjects, helping boost attainment levels. Year 6 teacher and ICT novice Pat Murphy leads her pupils in recording their own podcast relating to a project about the Isle of Wight. With the help of Deputy Head and ICT Coordinator Chris Bayne she quickly inputs and edits audio clips, and uploads the podcast to the Internet. Staff believe podcasting has had a successful impact on the pupils, improving their speaking, listening and writing skills. Headteacher Noreen Curphey thinks podcasting has contributed to a rise from 11 per cent to 50 per cent of pupils achieving level 5 at KS2 English. |
