The main aim of our project is to give the opportunity to each school to have their staff trained in podcasting techniques, production, editing and dissemination. Our schools will discover the power of podcasting as a teaching and learning tool.
We held a number of Zoom meetings with our Erasmus partners in which we discussed the purchase of the Rodecaster Podcasting bundle and four portable recorders to enable us to commence with our Podcasting learning module.
All of our schools took part in the logo competition. The final logo design chosen was an amalgamation of all the efforts from the different schools.
