At the November 2007 ICT Co-ordinators’ Meeting we explored how Podium can be used to used to create a variety of audio files. Pupils can create audio files, upload the files to the Internet and listen to it through iTunes or save them to the Podcasting area on LGfL – http://podcast.lgfl.org.uk/. Listen to our demonstration podcast entitled ‘Test Podcast’.
