Nick Falk Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Copy of my posting in the science area I have had this idea that the next vehicle for schools publicising themselves to their local community should be an Internet radio station. Most schools have a website that provides information to parents and students about the running of the school and the curriculum on offer. Some have started to create of a digital curriculum and have students creating their learning material. Could this be supplemented by a schools own web radio? Is Internet radio 'an untapped treasure' as recently suggested by Glenys Hart in the December edition of Educational Computing and Technology? I have been encouraging teacher in my own school to consider the potential of in-house Internet radio programmes being made available to students and learners in the local community. Here is an Internet radio station which I have been running fo a few years. Not geared to the curriculum http://www.live365.com/stations/285707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Davies Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Could be a good idea. Using Internet radio and Internet TV is more or less established practice in MFL. Personally, however, I prefer digital TV and satellite TV – it’s a lot clearer and I can watch it in the comfort of an armchair instead of sitting upright two feet away from a computer screen. Kidon is a useful source of information on international media of all sorts: http://www.kidon.com/media-link/index.shtml Sunset Radio offers links to Internet radio stations all around the world. Foreign language broadcasts and some great music stations too: http://www.sunsetradio.com Adodoc is a collection of exercises and activities centred on French radio and TV broadcasts: http://www.adodoc.net You can even keep up your Latin by listening to and reading the news. This is the website of the Finnish radio station that broadcasts in Latin and maintains a Latin language website with news reports http://www.yleradio1.fi/tiede/nuntii - plus an active discussion list. I have a few other Internet TV links listed at: http://www.camsoftpartners.co.uk/websites.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
