The Ease of Creating a Podcast

Following a quick demonstration, our group, (Alan, Sam, Angela and myself) put together and "performed" an amended ending to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"....which was more suitably named "Snow White and the Special Dwarf". Using the Podium software we were able to write up a quick script, assigning a part to each person, insert a mini-microphone into the computer and record the podcast. The program also allowed us to edit some music into the recordning of the script within moments. The resulting podcast can be accessed below.

  1. I did enjoy this version of Snow White. I think it is time for these fairy tales to be updated to reflect contemporary society! Liked the way you added music to the end of your podcast.
    Soula.

  2. This is a wonderful blog, and thanks for inviting me to view it. Please don't view mine back, it's Stone Age by contrast! I thought your Podcast was fantastic, and I hope you have a chance to do this with your kids next year (not just waste it on adults).

  3. Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to look at my blog and for the feedback!

    I definately think a task like this gives the kids the creative freedom that they deserve and don't often get - but may be they should be given a few boundaries, i.e. may be drawing the line on sex/violence?!! Presuming this task was aimed at year 4-6, I think lower ability children may need a little support devising their own script but music and other add-ons can be a good extension for the higher ability children.
