Skype Podcast with a Welsh teacher
b"Through our podcasting we have found kindred spirits in linking with Cefn Fforest School in Wales. We have exchanged letters, emails, photos, blog posts, gifts and a very small geocaching bear which is travelling about in Nelson having a wonderful time. Look for photos on our Moturoa Blog of his travels.\\n\\nAfter a couple of practice runs, Cefn Fforest School teacher, Paul H and I arranged to record a Skype conversation this morning. Children in my class decided on a question they would like to ask Paul and we started chatting.\\n\\nIt was a great experience for the children. I was really pleased with their new confidence in speaking. I am sure their podcasting experiences over the last six months have really improved their oral literacy and confidence.\\n\\nWe have come such a long way in those six months. My digital natives take it easily in their stride and think of it all as unexceptional. I have learnt a great deal and feel at home with the technology. Podcasting has given me a greater audience also which I am appreciative of. \\n\\nNelson, NZ is at the bottom of the globe but we are still 'connected'.\\n\\nPlease leave a comment. We love feedback and you get a pin on our classroom wall map if we know what part of the world you are listening to us from.\\n\\n5.4 MB 10 minutes"
