Powerpoint and Podcasts

Powerpoint is an ICT tool that is regularly used within school today. When I was in school Powerpoints were used as a quick and easy way of presenting a speech. I believe that this has not changed. I believe that teachers use this tool as quick solution for students to present their tasks. I believe that students are capable of using a wider range of ICT’s to present their assignments such as blogs, wikis, websites, a video created in windows movie maker and concept maps.


Podcasting is a way for students to share their work with others around the world. Podcasting allows students to share their voice or their films. Audio and video files are not the safest files to upload to the internet when it comes to the safety of children. In the best interest of the child I would not upload video files with children's faces or any identifiable information about the children. This information also applies to audio files. Other than this, teachers must make sure it is acceptable with their principles to allow students to post their files online.
