Podcasting is a cross-curricular tool that enhances communication, creativity, digital skills, and subject-specific knowledge. It is being used in the English and Welsh curriculum to improve oracy, literacy, digital competency, and critical thinking across multiple subjects. Schools integrating podcasting into their curriculum provide students with real-world media experience, teamwork and the opportunity to reinforce prior learning.

Boosts LearningCreating a Podcast boosts a student's confidence. Sharing their thoughts and views to others encourages them in the belief that they too can have a voice that matters. Creating Podcasts on topics that they have an interest in allows them to show their knowledge and passions and convey their thoughts and opinions. |
Podcast creation embraces all elements of the Learning Pyramid with a 90% retention of learning (see below) unlike lectures with only a 5% retention rate. Supported by ResearchThere is a lot of positive research endorsing the benefits of school children creating podcasts. |

The National Literacy trust recognises that listening to podcasts has a positive impact on children's reading. The research also shows that boys listen more to podcasts. Reaching this group is always more difficult but this improves their reading abilities. Increases SkillsTeaching students to make Podcasts also helps develop a wide range of skills that can better equip them for todays modern life. It can be an activity for a full class activity, creating teams for research, creating presentations and editorials including music, artwork and more. Communication skills: Students improve their speaking skills, confidence, and their ability to grab attention. |

Achieves higher retention of learning. |

Learning by DoingThe Learning Pyramid shows that the greatest methods of learning retention are at the base of the pyramid. The best effect is achieved through Discussion Groups, Practise-By-Doing Activities, Sharing Ideas and Teaching Others. Creating Podcasts uses all of these tecniques and is an important activity that embraces all the learning elements of the learning pyramid to achieve a 90% retention of learning. Surpisingly perhaps the traditional methods of Lectures, Reading and use of Audio Visual that we are all used to have less than 20% retention rates ! |
