An easy to use podcast creation and publishing tool
Description
Podium is an easy-to-use piece of software that allows students of any age to create, edit and publish podcasts all from the same simple interface. Podium is bringing podcasting within the reach of everyone, giving teachers and pupils the chance to create podcasts quickly and easily. As well as allowing pupils to display and extend their creativity using audio as a means of expressing themselves, teachers are able to use Podium to regularly communicate with parents through posting school updates on the website. They can also publish lesson guides to help students who may have missed sessions through absence or who simply need reinforcement when completing homework assignments. Group working has also been enhanced through Podium's fantastic scripting tool, which allows pupils to assign parts of their dialogue to different members of the group.
Features
- Podium promotes the 5 P's for Podcast creation: * Prepare * Perform * Produce * Publish * Promote
- Preparation - Fill in the podcast and episode details
- Performance - Record the audio
- Production - Play back the recording
- Publish - Publishing your podcast means to load it to a server so that it can be accessed by other people. You can either publish locally (on your own network server) or globally (on an FTP server). When the podcast has all the requisite parts it needs, the 'Publish' button will become red.
- Promote the podcast - Now your podcast is published, you can tell everyone where it is. You only need to do this once per podcast since people who subscribe will automatically receive each of the new episodes as you publish them.
