Do you want to create your own radio station for the school, or you might wish to just keep a record of 'Speaking and Listening' activities in your classroom? Podcasts are able to be published to the web in MP3 format so that you can share the work your pupils are creating with others. There is a great range of development in this format and you can pay vast amounts to obtain the software required. One of the best I feel available for the PC is Audacity. This is free, open souce software for recording and editing sounds. Have a listen to some of the Podcasts created by this software by my pupils by Clicking HERE to listen to Clunbury Radio!

If you would like further help in establishing your blog, I will willing assist you. Just drop me an email at teachingpets@hotmail.com and I'll be in touch. (PS there is no cost for this!)

Here's another product from Google which is great for organising photographs,called Picasa It's fairly easy to use.
Creating computer games is more educational than you might think. It involves not only imagination but a vast amount of the skills assosciated with the 'control' and 'modelling' aspects of ICT. One of our favourites is 'Scratch'.
