Welcome to another episode. We have been currently studying the question “Why we should be safe on the internet?” My class has been looking at the tricks and traps of using the internet. We have studied various advertising marketer strategies and the number of ways we can keep ourselves safe when using the internet.

My class created and conducted their own Survey Monkey for schools around the world, to gather data and see whether there was a need to promote internet safety. From their intensive research they created their own persuasive report and interview session with their own advertising radio commercials.

We hope you enjoy our latest episode. Don’t forget to leave us a comment or two.

Podcasting sounds fun, but what are the educational benefits behind it. How can you as a teacher successfully use it within your classroom? As an end of term reflection of my current teaching style, I gave the job to my students in the last week of school, to explain to me what they really enjoy about podcasting. Reviewing their work over the holidays I was quite surprised with their understanding of the educational benefits, so much so, that I really needed to share their knowledge with you.

So within this unplanned episode the students will be explaining to you why they enjoy podcasting, and as a teacher I will attempt to give you some tips and hints on how you can implement podcasting effectively and educationally within your classroom.

Why not check us out at St@rtWithIT for more information about podcasting and what else we are up to in our classroom.
