Our First Podcast

The word podcasting is a combination of ipod and broadcasting. It’s a World Wide Web form of broadcasting allowing anyone with a computer to download and listed to content.
Podcasting is a new way of communicating with others and the pupils are very excited by it. Podcasting gives them a lot of confidence when speaking and listening and also enables them to develop interviewing techniques.


We used Audacity to create and edit our podcast and then uploaded our finished mp3 file to SoundCloud.

We hope to make podcasting a regular feature on our blog. Come back in two weeks time when we hope to have another podcast informing the world of some of the interesting things that we are working on in our class.

    1. Hi Sara, We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our podcast.It was our first one so it took a bit of time. Some of the students are preparing material for the next one and we hope to upload it in about a weeks time. This time we hope to have a song about a Hallowe'en disco in the Irish language.

    1. Hi Georgia, We used Audacity software to record and edit the podcast. We then uploaded the podcast to Sound Cloud. If you wish you can record the podcast directly on Sound Cloud.

    1. Hi Cali, We prepared the topics as part of our work in class. Recording can be done quickly but you need some extra time to edit the material before publishing.
