International Linking Edublogs Site

During our meeting with our Indian partners, we decided that the British Council e-languages site did not provide the best platform for sharing images, video, etc.. so we’ve set up our own edublogs site:

UKIERI London-Delhi Hub School Link

I’d be interested in knowing about other schools with international partnerships and how they showcase the work they do.

Fortismere Podcast Project

Our school currently has links with six schools in Delhi through the British Council’s UKIERI programme. Today, I am running a workshop/conference with a delegation of senior staff from our cluster schools in India and using this sideshow to evaluate our progress so far:

As part of this project, we asked students to create Q&A podcasts. Initially, we asked students from all schools in India and London to exchange questions as audio files and then edit them in audacity or GarageBand to create a podcast. Here is an example of five Q&As:

Animoto Podcast

Our school currently has links with a cluster of schools in Delhi through the British Council’s UKIERI (UK-India Education Research Initiative) programme. At the moment, we are piloting a video podcast project with three school whereby students exchange audio questions (MP3s) and then create a video podcast in response. Here is a basic example:

In the first instance, we swap audio files by posting them to the British Council’s E-Language’s site. Then, the students download the files and edit them using Audacity and/or Garageband. Finally, they must find images to accompany their podcast – Garageband is the best application for video/image podcasting. They seem to enjoy it – I am trying it out on all my Year 9 classes as they deteriorate into post-SAT lethargy.
