What they say about podcasting
The fact that were not always in the classroom doing work and we can learn
in different ways.
They let me listen back to key parts of topics and before assessments i can jog
my memory.

What they say about podcasting
Sharing my knowledge with other people
better to listen to something than look at it
Helps me to put what I know into words to make sure I understand it
It helps you remember vocab better and to understand it
its fun
working with friends and making a podcast
it helps you remember the ways of doing the grammar

Which other subjects could you podcast in?
I think in things like music this would be useful to remember lots of keywords etc
English you could speak about a book instead of writing it down you can listen to it
English because sometimes we have conversations about poetry or stories in class and it would be helpful
if all the points were recorded as we discuss them.
Science & R.E-because it will help you to remember facts and
keywords for your exam.
