Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with the staff at Medina High School at one of their development days focusing on the use of ICT to support teaching and learning.
Assistant Headteacher Nick Krista kicked off the morning with an overview of how the school is currently using technology to enhance the curriculum and highlighted directions it now wants to explore. My job was to showcase examples of innovative practice and suggest where colleagues could find out more.
After my talk, I ran two podcasting workshops and showed delegates how easy it is to email their mp3 files to Posterous and subscribe via RSS in Google Reader.
Have a listen to what they produced and feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks to all those who replied to my Twitter request during my keynote. The reaction was very positive!
QR codes and Aurasma seemed to go down well too!
WOW, this is awesome! I have recently seen with iPhones that you can scan bar codes and things such as where that item is sold the cheapest will appear! I had no clue that you could put a bar code in the classroom, have a student scan it and a story or the information that you want the student to know is read to them. What exactly has technology come to these days?

That's amazing. I have seen apps where you can leave messages at different GPS locations. People with the same app are then notified when they are close to a message and then can find it and read your message. I had no idea you could scan something and get a whole story out of it. Very interesting!
