At the last SIG meeting those who attended generated 170 ideas for how educational podcasting could be embedded in the curriculum. A brief progress report will be given on what is happening with the ideas submitted during that session and other progress relating to the publication of a book on the subject of educational podcasting. However most of the session will be involved in writing a collaborative chapter together drawing upon the diverse and rich experience we have in all of the people who come to SIG meetings. There is method here - not just madness! All will be revealed!

Practical ‘how-to’s - Led by Alan Carr

Alan Carr (acarr@midchesh.ac.uk) is an ILT trainer and educational podcasting practitioner at Mid-Cheshire College. He also hosts his own music podcast. Producing a podcast doesn't have to be difficult. Alan will do just that in front of your own eyes - maybe you will leave with a firm intention to have a go yourself. To encourage this, Alan will give you a FREE podcasting resource CD - full of tutorials, examples, software etc. It's easier than you think!
