The focus for this day was on podcasting. We visited Dorothy Burt at Point England School, where the students introduced podcasting and how the philosophy is embedded in their school.
They demonstrated the making of a podcast and talked about the equipment they use.
Certainly, they are proud of their work and their school and rightly so too.
Dorothy showed us stats on how podcasting has raised student achievement. Her research shows a 2 1/2 year increase in reading age in 1 year. Amazing stuff.
There were bonus spinoffs too, such as improved attitudes towards reading, improved reading habits, fluency and comprehension improvement.
