TRAINING PODCAST
Podcasts have long been a part of students' lives – and offer enormous potential for teaching. As a modern, creative alternative to the traditional presentation, they can make content audible and can be used across subjects.
This training shows step by step how teachers can independently implement podcast projects – from the idea to the finished contribution.
Some of our topics:
2. Technology and recording practice
Not all schools have recording studios—and they don't need to. This course demonstrates how to create successful podcasts using simple tools: Which apps are suitable, what to consider with the microphone, and how the room affects the sound. The technology is explained in an understandable and practical way.
3. Cut and design
A good podcast thrives on sound. This section covers editing: How do I add music, where do I find suitable sounds, and how do I work with effects? Teachers will learn how to make podcasts audibly engaging with simple tools—including tips on free sound libraries.
1. Application in teaching
Podcasts can be used in almost any subject – whether as an audio presentation in history class, as an interview in an ethics course, or for language development in German classes. This training course presents concrete examples and ideas for how podcasts can be used across subjects for in-depth study, reflection, or presentation.
Participants will learn how to:
Use and design podcast formats effectively in the classroom.
Implement recordings with simple, technically clean means.
Develop targeted topics with students and write scripts.
Edit podcast contributions and enrich them with sounds, music or effects.
assess legal aspects such as copyright and publishing issues.
