A podcast is a radio programme broadcast via the internet. Listeners can subscribe to a podcast using iTunes or similar podcast-receiving software, so that new episodes are automatically downloaded to their computer / MP3 player.
The CLC runs podcasting sessions as part of our programme with schools. We also designed and maintained the Learning2Go Blog and Podcast project in collaboration with the Local Authority Learning2Go team, and lead introductory podcasting session to schools participating in the project.
