Who’s listening to your pupils?

Radioanywhere is a podcasting and radio application, designed to personalise learning and create activities that can engage your whole school.

Our Lady of Victories RC Primary School first started making use of the service in 2008. Headteacher, John Devlin, explained that the main reasons for introducing school podcasts into the curriculum were:

“To raise standards of oracy, basically improving speaking and listening, to raise standards in IT but above all to have fun as part of the creative curriculum. Radio fits into everything so now all of our teachers plan to include Radio into all parts of the school curriculum. It helps to personalise learning, the students who aren’t particularly academic shine when they get into the studio.”

OLV started introducing podcasting and radio in school gradually, with just one lead teacher and a small team of pupils at first. Once the idea had been piloted, other members of staff were keen to get involved.

After a training session with the local radio station, the scheme really took off. The school decided to use the technology across the curriculum, investing in mobile podcasting equipment and a dedicated radio suite.
