Why podcast in
the classroom?
✤   Share information free from the
    constraints of time and place

✤   Students can share their work
    with a wider audience

✤   Listeners can hear podcast
    when it suits them

✤   Creating podcasts caters for
    differentiated learning styles
    (writing, researching, talking,
    acting, interviewing)
