Podcast People

Podcast People is a nifty wee site to use for podcasting that I was shown during the k12online conference.
Students can record straight onto a page and publish it automatically or upload their work to a page.
I have recorded a few segments as part of the k12online conference on this site, but I used it the other day with my students when we made a welcome podcast for our student teacher who arrived from overseas this week.
I gave the students some guiding questions and then they recorded their answers almost straight away. We actually recorded this into Garageband and then uploaded it onto the website. The one not so good thing we found is that it plays all our slides before playing the audio and not in time as it should.
We also uploaded it to podomatic to see if the images would work and it did. Still not sure why it doesn’t work in Podcast People but it was a great tool for my kids to use. I could see the benefit especially for junior classes who want to get started with less tech. We sent her the link and received an email the next day from her saying she had seen it and thought it was pretty cool! A great introduction for her to our class.
