Mass. Public Schools Adopt Podcasting
Nov 13th, 2006 | By James Lewin | Category: Audio Podcasting, Educational Podcasts, Video PodcastsEducational podcasting, while largely pioneered at the university level, is increasingly being adopted as a tool in K-12 public school systems.
The Hopkinton, MA School District has updated their Web site, adding podcasting as a part of their new web presence.
School Technology Director Greg Martineau said that the first priority will be offering educational content…but he’s also open to lighter fare such as sports events.
“There’s obviously a lot of potential,” he said. “Our first priority is providing content to students, by offering a series of lessons that they can re-watch at home. We’ll also capture HPTA events for parents and students.
“We’d also love to provide other school-related events at some point, he added.
“One of the challenges will be finding people to film the events,” he said. “Football games can potentially get on the site if they’re being recorded. It’s very simple to create a podcast if we have a CD of the event.”
Each school will eventually be able to offer up its own podcasts for students, parents and anyone else who is interested, according to Marineau.
“We can use this as a teaching tool, and give the community access to new content,” Martineau told the School Committee last week.
